Mischief Managed

[mousme]

I rescued my bike from my parents' place and brought it to Eddy's Bicycle Shop where they gleefully told me that they could have it ready by tomorrow, Friday at latest. Apparently with the rain today they got a jump start on all their work.

So the next thing to do is to get myself a backpack (hard to bicycle with a purse, don'tcha know), and the first day of good weather will see me cycling (very, very slowly) to work.

Now I just have to muster the energy to get back out there to go grocery shopping before I have to leave for work. Meh. Don't wanna. I also have to change into my work clothes. Moving bicycles is a messy business.

Excellent point about the lights. I am a big squealing fanboy of the Planet Bike Super Flash rear LED light because it's so damned bright and flashes in a noticeably distinct way, and MEC at the moment are doing a bundle offer (http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442623127&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302692895&bmUID=1215660277810) of that rear light in combo with the half-watt Blaze front light for $33.50, which saves a dollar on buying them separately.

Oh, nice. I've just got a white (well, greenish) inferior equivalent of that rear flasher up front, which is fine for being seen in town where there's streetlights, but doesn't really light much up.

Up front I've got a big bright thing similar to that Blaze one in the offer and I can tell you it doesn't light much up in front of me either, the city is just too brightly lit already. However it's great for being seen by cars, especially at dusk when the sky is still a bit light. I even use my lights on dark rainy days now as well.
