"Yea, I know a few people who have sever problems with flashing lights. In some it even triggers seizures, although the typical is headaches and migraines.
So while I use flashing lights on the rear, they are red, which eyes seem less sensitive too…"

When I'm driving and come across a cyclist where it is clearly not safe to overtake. I simply don't. That's not rocket science! I don't know why so many other people have difficulty with it.But the…Continue

Jon replied to Donald Rintoule's discussion Headlights for Commuting"A few hours, but they are cheap batteries. I suspect good ones would last longer.
Yes they need daily charging for daily usage, as any lithium battery does."
Jon replied to Donald Rintoule's discussion Headlights for Commuting"Well I'm based on my apparently 1800 lumen light being the same as a car head light, more than 2000 would have to be too much one the road. As previously stated, even 1800 is too much on the bike paths.
As for the 6400 lumens, are they fog…"
Jon replied to Donald Rintoule's discussion Headlights for Commuting"The battery pack is a small pack of just four batteries. It can be strapped to any of the tubes. I put in in my frame bag with keys etc...
1800 lumen? Yeap!
Although I don't always run it at full capacity. It is definitely overkill on the bike…"
Jon replied to Donald Rintoule's discussion Headlights for Commuting"I have one of those 1800 lumen jobs sans spreader.
On full power it is as bright as a cars headlights. This may sound excessive, but really is needed to compete with all the other light around in the city. That is if you want a solid light.

Jon replied to Ben's discussion Motorist hit and run on cyclists then boasts about it on Twitter"You don't need insurance to cover your off work expenses. Simply sue the driver.
You can also recover any other expenses or lost wages this way."
Jon replied to Samuel Russell's discussion Non standard "lights" (Red / Green) at Gate 10, Racecourse, on Wansey Road SUP Randwick"IT simply needs a sign saying:
"Warning: drunken idiots leaving racecourse broke and destitute""
Jon replied to PeterT's discussion Vic - keep P-plates till 25years old."I don't agree with bashing people up because of their age. I was married at 21, a father at 24. There are plenty of 35 year olds who claim to have the years of experience, but still live with their parents playing video games all day, and…"
Jon replied to Beck's discussion Are bike helmets recyclable?"Man Invents new material
Man discovers that said new material is the best material the planet has ever seen
It's surprisingly environmentally friendly to source it's raw ingredients and then produce
It's easy to work with to make…"
Peter Hoskins replied to Jon's discussion Winter Gloves"Who pays full price at Katmandu??
My preference is for a wind proof glove (BBB brand) that fit over a fingerless glove as in Sydney I find that on warmer winter mornings I need to remove the outer glove after 30-40min of my commute. In…"
Michael Fagan replied to Jon's discussion Winter Gloves"I have some Specialized full finger road cycling gloves that I 'm happy with. They have the right amount of gel padding without being bulky. They also work with touch screen phones and satnav. Pretty sure their shop in Clarence St has them ( i…"
Jon replied to Woody's discussion noisy cassettes / freewheels"Noisy Cassettes?
Perhapes you should get an iPod :D"
Bernie replied to Jon's discussion Winter Gloves"Same. Katmandu gloves on special (dont pay full price as the place is a bit of a rip off). Mine are quite thin but, even so, they usually end up in my pocket after 15 minutes. Good for taking the bite out of the cold until you warm up. I have…"
PeterT replied to Jon's discussion Winter Gloves"I second the ' liners under normal gloves' idea.
You can drop them when you warm up, and they are great for normal use off the bike too"
Bhanu Loku replied to Jon's discussion Winter Gloves"I got a pair of the scott longsleeve gloves, no gel on them etc. But I actually wear them under my endura short sleeve pair and works nicely. Leather palms on them, so good feedback on the scott gloves when changing gears on di2. But I get the…"
