I remember with horror the times, back in the '70s and early '80s when I did have to commute in dark and I was in my teens and green in judgment - a gutter cyclist, long before I found the benefits of VC. Thinking back to that narrow, dark and busy A4124 - the main road between Bloxwich and Brownhills, where I spent many a dark winter morning or evening being overtaken with a clearance of a few inches, it's a wonder I made it to my 20s.<br /><br />Nowadays, I ride farther out - and I do keep a light on the old bike, just in case, along with a myriad of other Rube Goldberg devices that I never use. I always reckon the more I carry, the fitter and slenderer I'm going to get. Somehow though, I seem to always overcompensate in terms of eating just a little bit too much. Maybe I need to find just one more heavy device to add to the bike.Ian Brett Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144195897514392433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-18957016433408555052013-04-18T11:28:47.262-06:002013-04-18T11:28:47.262-06:00Khal
