Staying Safe in the Dark
With the change in Daylight Savings Time, I’m now running in the dark after work. I’m not 
normally running in places with a lot of traffic, so when a car or bike comes up on me, I want to know they can see me. Some things like headlamps and red blinking lights help, but they aren’t always as visible as you’d like them to be, especially if they are angled the wrong way. That’s why I prefer reflective gear that picks up light from all directions and reflects back…making you much more obvious to a driver or cyclist. The problem is much of the reflective gear out there is ridiculously expensive, or if affordable looks like something you’d wear picking up litter along the roadside.
