We may have to do an Intervention with Annie! LOL

Well, for different reasons, but one for each of them, really.

Looking out my kitchen window just now I spotted these hot air balloons flying by. They take off from the Goodyear airport which is about 2 miles east of me.

An old abandoned fish hatchery, it was a little foggy that day so I didn't get the clarity I wanted. That's the Ranger bottom right to give an idea of scale.

Added some white reflective tape on my bike to make it more visible at night. A strip on the side frames and a strip around the around the edge of the pedals...

Safety first - it’s gets dark early there and it’s tough to be seen - having it on those pedals will really get drivers’ attention. Even if you’re not riding on the road, you’re crossing a street at some point. ?

Thanks Duke! I'm hoping the tape on the pedals will reflect a revolving motion when riding so onlookers will recognize a bike being pedaled.

Lighting is important as the primary night visibility source of light. Reflectors secondary. Have a white 3-way headlight on the handlebars and a white 3-way safety light mounted on the front fork.

Have 3 lights in the rear. Two 3-way reds and the light strip around the rear bag is a 3-way green displaying to the back and sides...battery operated

Didn't realize that pouch under the seat was a battery + light attachment. Tought it as item carry bag

Seems like you're all set up!

Thanks! The rear bag is very small for storage. I can only get several packs of batteries in it and a headlamp in case of a nighttime emergency...It is mainly for the lighting. The larger bag under the top bar holds tools and tube repair supplies...
