By the way, this is a good time for those of us who ride to take an inventory of our lights, flashers, and reflectors. Do a test run in the dark and have somebody see how well you show up. Front, back, and sides. You want a bright headlight that keeps you from bumping into things, and makes you visible to oncoming traffic. Lots of folks are using a helmet-mounted setup, which helps to keep your handlebars free.You need red flashers behind you, and plenty of reflection all around so that folks in cars can see you from a distance. With less daylight, as well as the upcoming change in weather, it’s time to shine!

Less weight than a vest but VERY bright. Compliments the leg bands nicely. Heightens the dork-factor that sets serious bike commuters apart from the rest of the crowd.
This is a seriously cool upgrade for those of us who like to get our geek on. I didn't know about these, but I'm going to get one. I'll be the envy of...somebody somewhere...maybe. Who cares--I'm gettin' it! Thanks for the suggestion!
