Derek Pearson: Most Visible Night Cyclist for November

November 30, 2007 by David Longdon Leave a Comment

The winner for November is Derek Pearson from Olympia!

In fairness, Derek was the only entrant, but this was just the first month of the contest. Regardless, I think Derek’s creativity has set a high bar for other contenders out there.

Picture
Derek’s ride is on the left, his wife is on the right.

His setup consists of:

-5 down low glow tubes, available in six colors.

-2 serfas t1000 taillights

-1 nightrider trailrat headlight

Derek’s advice: “…more is more. Get all kinds of lights up. If you can do something fun with them all the better:”

Picture
‘Tis the season to be a well lit night cyclist.

Derek says “…cars make a very wide pass around us at night 🙂 Since we went crazy on lights, there’s never even been a close call, a lot of cars will actually give us the full car lane on 2 way streets if there’s nothing coming the other way. Generates a lot of conversation anywhere we stop as well. No better way to engage bicycle type conversation with the masses 🙂“

Motorist probably think they are coming up on a UFO when Derek & his wife come into view.

Excellent work, Derek!
