RE: Cycling
There's a 'docu' on beeb1 tomorrow at 9pm I believe, about cyclists and motorists in the UK.
It's getting a lot of flack already from the previews, apparently it focuses on the more lunatic cyclists, and the more inconsiderate motorists, so gives a very skewed view. It apparently also features a scene showing a cycle courier race across London, which dates from 2006, so is hardly relevant, and just appears to be thrown in for more sensationalism.
Even so, gotta be worth a watch.

Like you say it was quite sensationalist in my opinion. I can't comment about cycling in London but I both cycle and ride a motorbike where I live and can honestly say that I see potential life endangering situations everyday on the roads. The number of cars that pull out without looking, fail to indicate or cut you up amazes me but I also have to say I see a high number of morons cycling around too. Pulling out into traffic without signalling or arrogantly ignoring the rules of the road because they are on a bike. One day lady luck will dump them and all that will remain will be a bunch of flowers by the roadsidebladewave

RE: Cycling
I like the look of these :

http://www.reelight.com/

It uses magnets to create an electrical pulse to power small led lights (same as how cycle computers register wheel turns using a magnet, but taken to a higher level here). I like that the lights are permanently fitted, so they are always there as backup for your main lights in emergencies, and the magnet system means you don't have the drag effect that a normal dynamo has.
There are various versions available with flashing or steady modes, and some which store a charge so the light stays on for a while when you stop pedalling, and different mounting options as well (it would be nice to have at least one set with an option to switch between steady or flashing, and with the different mounting kits included, instead of having to select them at purchase time and be stuck with it unless you buy a new set).

They are a bit pricey, though I've seen them a bit cheaper on ebay, but they could be a worthwhile investment in the long run, as a backup for a main set. If you commute in the dark, it certainly wouldn't hurt to have something like this to fall back on if you suddenly find your batteries going in your main lights, or you just plain forgot to take your lights with you one day.

I my early career I was a postman and I would have to ride a bike to deliver the mail. I must have cycled many many miles a week. I'd also cycle to and from the sorting office. So, yes, I did enjoy cycling - I had no other option really. Wink Smile
