Benighted

Typical of many start-ups, yesterday's afternoon meeting became dinner at the local place. We finished around 9pm so I cycled home in the dark for the first time. What an interesting experience, a real emotional roller-coaster; a confident start, the moment when the cold reality of of 60 Mph traffic inches away in the dark really sinks in, followed by a serene acceptance for the final miles.

I was on the IndyFab which has a pair of huge headlights powered by a generator built into the front hub. I had forgotten how well they work but I can say they provide more that enough light for even the darkest roads. I'm strangely looking forward to the next chance to do it again.
