Derek Pearson: Most Visible Night Cyclist for November

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.

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:”

‘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!
