Bicycle lights
In the beginning of this week my bicycle head light got broken. I guess that it needs only changing bulb but it was a good excuse to buy a new better light. The old one was a good light but it was a small, not bright enough and its runtime was still not so good.
So I decided to buy a new one. And this time I wanted a good light that would last many years and almost every condition I would cycle.
So I am now a happy owner of Switchback 2 light. It is very small, LED-based light with Li-ion battery and rapid charger. It should charge just in two hours and give 16h of runtime in low setting, which is enough in the city. At this point (only one ride behind) light seems to be just right purchase. I will post more detailed thoughts later when I have a little bit more experience of it.
Finally winter
Winter has finally came to Finland, this week temperature has been below 0°C all the time and the ground looks white. There is still too little snow in the ground but maybe we will get a it more in this winter. At least I hope so.
This week was also first week when there was ice on roads so I changed my studded tires on my bicycle on Monday. So it is officially a winter time now
Christmas tree
Christmas is coming closer. I was on my way to the work when I was passed by a police escort of a big tree. A tree was on its way to the city center where it will be our city's christmas tree. Unfortunately above is the best photo I managed to get, I was always few minutes late on every road crossing, traffic lights, everywhere where transportation stopped for a while.
