After the miles I put in over my long Easter weekend, biking life has been fairly quiet. The front bulb went on the Blade (yes I know exciting) so I used full beam instead for a day or so, much to the delight of the people coming the other way. Sorry, but personally I'd rather you saw me than scraped me off the bonnet of your car. Having previously used the Philips City Vision Moto bulbs in previous bikes, I punted for these again.
These are far superior to the cheaper offerings from Halfords etc and the one I picked gives the light an orange tint, which is designed to help separate the light from those vehicles around you. Admittedly this works better at night and thankfully my night riding is now kept to a minimum, well until the winter anyway.
After work and the gym I popped down to Poole Quay for my first Poole Bike Night as a Dorset resident. Bloody hell, it was packed. I mean heaving. After the briefest of look arounds I popped in the to the lovely Deli on the Quay for a decaf coffee and a slice of cake and then proceeded to watch bikers wander past the front window. Very relaxing I can assure you.

Finally to cap off a fairly nice few days, the central interlocking zip went on my Alpinestar trousers on the way to work. Bugger. Back in the one piece suit until I can get it fixed.
