takes around an hour pa rin umuwi, more or less. Weight training ulit because of my bag 😆 Brought my laptop and iPad so I could work on stuff while at home~

See ride on Strava

@jarrod hehe yes! 😁 The lights are super handy~ what color is yours? 😆

@chiawase Nice! I got the safety vest yellow helmet. I figure if I’m getting it to be seen, I might as well go whole hog. 😆 I backed the Firefly lights on Kickstarter a while back and loved them so much that I got the helmet too. What do you think of yours?

@chiawase Also, from that perspective it looks like the GCN thing is the end of a ski that you’re using as a bike rack. Please tell me it is so!

@jarrod ooooh nice!! TIL the Firefly lights are a Kickstarter project 😆 I saw those on sale last month in a local bike pop-up event we had here!

I initially bought the helmet because there are times I keep forgetting to charge the lights I have on my bike 🙈 so I figured I could at least focus on at least having 1 of my light paraphernalia charged. It doesn't seem to be so bright that I can make do without my front light, but I know at least people will see me, which helps when riding at night 😄

I also wanna eventually ride with others in my local bike community and I can finally be part of the synced helmet lights gang 😝

@jarrod oh yes! It's not a bike rack, but more of an Ass Saver 😆 got this as a Christmas gift from a fellow cyclist friend 😁 so far it does work on making sure my butt doesn't get wet if I ride in the rain, but my back though... 🤣

@chiawase Ahhh haha, I think I’ve actually seen those in our shop too.

@chiawase lol I like the logic. I was also hoping that it would be bright enough that I could forego a headlamp, but perhaps not. But I’ll try with just the helmet + bright front light. It’s a little heavier, too, than I had expected, but I think I can get used to it.

I don’t know anyone else locally with Lumos stuff, so right now I’m a lights gang of one! 😭

@jarrod yeah, the helmet + bright front light is a good combo. You could also boost it from what I know, I saw that function in the Lumos app. Might drain the battery faster, but yay for a brighter light I guess 😆

Hoping you find other Lumos users around your area too! It's fun to see all the lights flicker in sync 😁

@chiawase I’ll give that a shot, thanks!
