Rants and Raves

Ack! My favorite accessory died

A few weeks ago my Fly6 rear light died. I’ve recommended this light to everyone and still recommend it.

I’m not sure what exactly happened but Cycliq tech support and I worked back and forth on trying to get it working again without luck. [impressively quick support team too]

Cycliq has a newer version out, and because mine was past the warranty date and they offered a discount to me, I wound up ordering the newest model last week.

I’ve commuted without it a few times now and I feel naked. Yes I have other lights- like my favorite Planet Bike Superflash, but I worried a few times about not having footage should I need it. (I never need it- knock on wood)….

I did post a vid from the Fly12 front camera last week in case you’re REALLY bored.

Altered Carbon – ****

Altered Carbon (Takeshi Kovacs, #1)Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wasn’t sure I’d like this book or get in to it at all, but once I started I wound up getting caught up in it. I haven’t read SciFi in quite a while- well, not like this- but I got in to it as the story in itself is more of a pulp-style mystery. Almost like a SciFi noir. The mystery itself was good so that kept me engaged and the sci-fi aspects weren’t distracting, but well thought out ideas that added to the environment. I wound up really enjoying it.
