Lighting up the winter darkness

Taking the longboard  on my daily commute and travelling through the park to the train station I really get a good impression of nature and the changing seasons. Its amazing that in October we are getting such good weather - good enough to skateboard in and enjoy it!

However, what has arrived in a stealth like manner is the darkness in the early morning. To be safe I think I need to be more visible. With this in mind I went on to eBay to see if I could find any bright lights to affix to my longboard.

After much searching I found the lights shown below and have placed an order. Although they are designed for a bicycle and use rubber straps to fix to a bicycle frame I believe the rubber  straps would also be suitable for fixing to the front and back longboard trucks on my board. They are reasonably priced at  11.69GBP  for the pair (white for the front and red for the back) but what particularly attracted me was the turnaround  - literally two days from placement of order. The timer has started..........
