Follow the white line
Last night I got a great idea of going to cycle in the middle of night. When it was dark, windy and it felt like there was almost little bit of rain in the air - in other words just quite nice autumn-like weather. This was my first time cycling in the dark in this autumn and have to say that it was just so great. It has just so different feeling when you are alone in the streets, just trying to follow your headlamp light... And because I was cycling in the middle of night, I was practically all alone there, there was just a few cars in the roads. It was so quiet and nice.
In the middle of my trip I just encountered weird white line in the street that just went somewhere. It was weird because it was painted first in the pavement, then on the street, then it went across the school yard... So what I did - of course I started to follow it... It took a while until I understood that it was the Varala marathon route marking, which was better than good for me because I was actually heading to near to Varala to see nightly view of city. So just following weird white line and I ended up exactly where I wanted 
But the view wasn't so great than I was thought, it was nice but not so nice. So still searching for a great nightly view from the city... Tips are accepted...
University cat
On Friday when I was coming back to university I encountered a little problem, the door which I usually use to get in was blocked. University has to make a new agreement about security because in the door was a cat watching that no-one was going in... Or at least I decided that it was better to go inside from another door than trying to get past the cat, specially when it was sitting in the front of door so I wouldn't been able to open the door even.
University at night
University looks a little bit scary at nights. When all the lights are off it is quite dark place. Doesn't look like at all a familiar place like in the daytime.
Christmas card…
There is a nice road commercial in my way to work. It is a reminder to sent christmas cards early enough. It is nice to see that someone has really thought about this commercial and made it visually nice.
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.
