I think I know the MUP you mean. I've (being lazy) been riding with an
amber front blinky and a red rear one. That means I'm visually
challenged. It works ok on city streets, and I don't have to wear my
helmet lamp.
Even the dog walkers are invisible - and the dogs are still on 20 foot
elastic leashes. I ride slow and watch carefully, and as usual they are
behaving like they are alone out there.
I feel like we are slipping downhill into lame rants about very little...
Where is the FABulous one?
