I've got through another winter alive and it's no longer dark when I ride home.

Hallelujah.

    Yeah it was great tonight leaving in the light, didn't really get dark until I'd got a good half way back either. I can't wait for the summer.

    I'm in another one of my purchase dilemmas, because if I start using my Wazoo for commuting by bike for the first time since last October, I will need lights for the next few weeks due to early start.

    The Magicshine MJ902 light set is reduced to ~£65 this weekend at PX, which is brighter than the MJ900 (£40) and comes with a rear light plus a remote button.

    But part of me thinks, stick to my plan of commuting once I don't need lights in the morning, hold off on a light purchase and wait until autmn... Light tech and prices could move on in the space of ~8 months!

    It's great isn't it. Although with commuting I find the fact it's lighter in the morning more beneficial, especially with regards to motivation.

    I'd get them now, they won't be on offer in the Autumn.
