Another invention!
However, unlike the cycle-in table and pop-up instant helmet, (both of which are super cool but alas not currently actually available to buy) this new light is looking to be the bees knees of illumination, staying safe, while still looking cool AND actually being a bit of an eco-warrior while you’re at it. Sounds almost too good to be true (bit like the pop up helmet) BUT take heart, its not too good - it just is.
The coolest feature however is the USB charger, which a) means you don’t have to fork out for batteries and b) means that the casing around the light is totally sealed hence no more water induced light death.
I am absolutely loving my new lights, so much so that I found it necessary to share their brilliance with my lucky friends and work colleagues. Note to anyone who has non-cyclist friends, this is not good chat and results in serious eye glaze which is either from boredom or blindness, either of which isn’t ideal at the dinner table. You have been warned.
I have misplaced/lost half of my favourite gloves. While this saddens me greatly, at least it was the ‘hate’ hand; I’d be inconsolable if I’d lost my love.
Love
Lost
In light of this small tragedy I have created my top tips to avoid glove loss in the future:
Option 1: Always put them in the same place when you take them off e.g. right hand side pocket of jacket. Apparently after 21 days this will become habitual.
Downside – what if you are not wearing that jacket?
Option 2: String through back of jacket.
Downside – although not really appropriate over age of 5.
Option 3: Never take them off.
Downside – hot hands when inside and tricky to execute intricate tasks when doing so.
Option 4: Once glove removal is on the cards remove helmet too, place gloves in helmet – as with option 1, after 21 days this will become habit.
Downside – A lot of faffing involved.
