Close to! I actually got up at 7:30 this morning. I got into work
about 2 hours earlier than usual, and people looked at me funnily.


So what'd 'e say?

They skip the teaching of "8" and "G" in the public schools as part of
the "No Child Leaves Behinded" program. Too spendy.

Hmm... is this why SHM was full of people buying bike lights today? I felt like a right lemming going in there for a backup LED light... But at least that allowed me to listen in on their advice and pick meself up a nice S-Sun 5 LED blinky to deal with the encroaching darkness.

The articles look a bit 'naughty cyclists' to me with no reference to encouraging drivers to be more aware - Pity...

yeah, but BV's angle is to get the part of the market (ie cyclists. duhh) to do their part. Too easily to alienate further (if that's humanly possible!) for BV to 'whine' on air about driver's responsibilities. another thread that's usually covered by bart sbegen on his regualr spot in the evenings 'fighting the good fight'.

the just was with daylight savings leaving us, lights are obviously a consideration

I too headed off for a light today as some ***** stole myrear red light when i left my backpack hanging on a tree at Kew Loop when doing 'pain' with carl

F"more pain tonight. 53x12 tonight!"Dutch
