In terms of photons and visibility for money, I find the Cateye EL135 hard to beat. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1209#post-11169 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 09:18:36 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 11169@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Winterise my bike?

No use suggesting it to EBC as they don't sell them. Oh and it cheaper to buy in places other than EBC most of the time, they are not good value for money. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1209#post-11164 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:41:18 +0000 kaputnik 11164@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I submitted a number, including the "cover your frame in reflective tape so that it actually looks like a bike when illuminated from the side" one. Lights aren't so useful pointing forward if you're side-on to traffic. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1209#post-11086 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 20:25:11 +0000 gembo 11086@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>chdot, not sure that is the sort of tip they are looking for (you never know, they published my nonsense about speedo polyester swim caps and short haircuts the last time).</p> <p>Here is my tip, ah no wait, I'll post it on EBC first then come back</p> <p>My tip for keeping going right through the winter is to buy yourself another new bit of winter kit every time your pay packet allows. One week get another light, the next some night visibility stuff. Next time some decent waterproof socks. This way you treat yourself as a reward for your perseverance. One of the best places for such retail therapy to spin out your commitment to through the winter cycling is the Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1209#post-11065 Fri, 06 Aug 2010 14:12:23 +0000 chdot 11065@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> we are looking for contributions from everyday people.
