Past my bed time

The other night I was out cruising the city in the dark. Sometimes I feel a little vulnerable amongst the 4 wheel drives as people head home after a few customary Friday night drinks. So ... I have to admit to committing the cardinal sin of Cycle Chic ... I have bought some special cycle gear!!

This is my new 'high vis' cycling poncho - wall to wall sequins! I picked it up in the Glassons sale for $20 - bargain! It definitely works; I got some whistles, some toots, and a "hey look at that" - I got the distinct impression that people saw me!

The husband also had fun riding behind me and creating a sort of disco thing with the strobe light on his bicycle, and the street lights created a beautiful rainbow effect. Improvements we are considering include adding a music system with sub woofer and flashing coloured lights!

This guy was also out enjoying the night on a very nice machine

and even took the time to show off some of his cycle tricks - clever stuff!

Then I came across this guy looking ineffably cool as he paused at the lights
