Commuting with a Six Pack

[Simon Mason]

As a shift worker, I often ride in the dark and previously had to stick to some pretty busy main roads, whereas during the day, I tend to use off road ex-rail lines. In order to ride on these routes all year round, I bought the 1800 lumen Exposure Six Pack last December. It has meant that I can use any off road route I wish now as it is so powerful it will light up any trail enough to ride at the same speed one does during the day. The only caveat is that you have to keep it pointing down, otherwise it will blind oncoming drivers. The customer service from Exposure is second to none as well, since I had to send it back due to a fault and they turned it around in 24 hours even though it was Xmas.

That costs more than my roadbike!!! That said I have seen those lights and they are truly amazing!

 

[Simon Mason]

Yes, what amazes me is the battery life.
3 hours on full blast and 24 hours on the dim setting which is still very bright.
In flashing mode they will last for many days

Lights. Humph.

Was hoping for some advice on how to carry beer on a bike. Or how to open and consume a bottle whilst pedaling. You know, the important stuff

 

[Simon Mason]

I can show you how to carry some chilli con carne to work.

^^^ good tip! Now if only I could get my jalfrezi in one...

 

[Piemaster]

But if I carried chilli/curry like that, well, I just need beer with it.
I have carried a bottle of wine in a cage. Have to select the bottle by size, then by taste preference though.

 

[Sleeper]

Easy. Two cages ;-)

...and two more on the back of the saddle!
