Eh --
I've been riding that stretch from Monroe to Glenway for several years,
year round pretty much. Getting a good bright light is just a good idea
(and cheaper than having them wreck the stillness with sodium vapor). I
got the basic Dinotte and it works great, rechargeable AA, extra holder
so I always have backup.

I note that during the fall/winter, when it it cloudy (a condition that
exists a good portion of the time) that ambient house and neighborhood
lights seem to reflect off clouds and illuminate the trail pretty well.
On clearish moonless nights, it's just downright fun, with skittering
cats, twinkling starts, and idiots on bikes with no lights making for an
adrenalin-rush on the commute home.... But with a bright light, I can
see it all.
it is indeed a bit of stillness in the midst of the city that I'd rather
not lose to public lighting.
and oh yeah... does anyone else think that tall upright riders with
helmet lights coming at you in the dark on a path look like some weird
alien headless horseman sorta visage?
