One more note: recently, driving my daughter back westward from some appointment along a very busy evening rush hour artery -- 6-lane Montano just east of the River, before it narrows to 2 lanes -- I saw an eastbound cyclist in the bike path to the right of 3 eastbound lanes with a powerful front white blinkie. He was immediately noticeable, and this was still broad daylight. I've seen many others in similar circumstances, unlit, and even in broad daylight they much more disappear into the traffic clutter. I wonder if my Edeluxe I would be as noticeable as he was in the circumstances.
I'd welcome video of cyclists with different types of front and rear lights -- blinky and steady, dynamo and battery, hi-po or more obtrusive -- in broad daylight conditions. I wonder how much brightness you need to stand out like the cyclist I described just now. I do recall how, riding in mid-day, cloudless, mile-high (= makes LA look gloomy) ABQ sunshine, a Supernova headlight vintage circa 2010 that I encountered on an oncoming bike was very visible on a deserted bike path from 3/8 mile away. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
