I left work a little early and got to attend some of the Redbones Bike Bash in Davis Square. I was not the lucky winner of the Ant Bike Cargo bike but I had a great chat with Mike F. about rear lights as he had a PDW Fenderbot on his personal bike. Basically he put it on for the same reason I've been using them, no rear wiring necessary. And he said the boxy 4-LED B&M wired light is much better.
Many great businesses supported the event which benefits NEMBA and MassBike, including Ciclismo Classico (from whom I won a T-shirt), Wheelworks, and of course Emily at Hub Bicycles who donated 2 $180 tune-ups to the prizes.
Though I didn't win any raffle prizes, I got something better and unexpected, a compliment from Mike and his wife on how good looking my new Linus Mixte is. I had just retrieved it from the valet and brought it over to show him how I set up the dynamo wheel in front and the PDW in back. Well, I'm on cloud nine! Major compliment because I am always looking towards his bikes for inspiration and they are always on the wishlist for the ultimate bike. The "final" bike if there could ever be such a thing.
