I like to see and be seen! Winter commuting has it's hazards, and darkness is one of them at this latitude. Perhaps I go a bit overboard, but I really like being able to see where I am going on a dark road in the rain.
I have a dynamo light (old bottom bracket generator), a cateye LED light and a cygo-lite battery-halogen set (on this particular bike). Planet Bike Superflash on the back!

Welcome to the 2009 Bicycle Commuter Contest!
Hello Everyone,
Welcome to the 2009 Thurston County Bicycle Commuter Contest, hosted by Intercity Transit! This will be the 22nd year that the contest has been encouraging and inspiring people of all ages and walks of life to benefit the health of the earth, their community and themselves, by making the choice to ride a bike instead of driving.
As always, the BCC runs for the month of May, with signups beginning in April. My name is Duncan Green, and I’ll be coordinating the BCC this year, so feel free to get in touch. You can e-mail me at dgreen@intercitytransit.com, or call me at 360-705-5874. I’m looking forward to a great year for the Bicycle Commuter Contest, and hoping you’ll join me to make it so!
A quick heads-up about an imminent (and eminent) event:
