Recumbent cyclist in Portobello area…

    I was out last night on the bicycle and spotted a recumbent cyclist (my first sighting in the wild) along the waterfront at Portobello.

    To my point: Was he a CCE recumbent cyclist? If so 1) hello and 2) what kind of light are you using on the front? I was quite impressed with its brightness.

    Was probably me, as Laidback was there on Saturday. Hiya!

    The light on that one is an ultrafazer 5 with brand new batteries. It keeps inching up with the bumps so sorry if it dazzled. Its got a nice disco ball pattern which is good for us low-down types. However it has poor battery life, would be better with 4 AAA's rather than 2 AA's.

    Humm, seems my spotability score is going up...

    You're not supposed to be able to see those invisiblebikes! Nor the rider who is but part of the machine.

    I want to say that it couldn't have been me, but of course not only is my bike invisible, but I can't remember where I've been riding it ;-)
