After someone stole the batteries and left my light I realized just
how cheap LEDs have become.

I'd like to see a new emergency light for cyclists. It would require
a 1 farad supercap and would, when some motorist in in your lane,
light up the entire intersection for a few seconds.

Who knew?

Anyway, that's nothing. The rivalry on our group's last night-ride got
so intense that eventually we all lay on our backs pointing our kit at
the skies giggling.

Of course, someone had to spoil it all by helping to bring down a
Heinkel He111.
Not very communitaire!

There are laws about that sort of thing in a public place, but of course
cyclists care nothing for that.
