After losing my NiteRider Sentinel 250 taillight on yesterday’s bike ride I thought I may be riding the route again today I might find it. Starting at 11:50 AM the weather changed from yesterday: start 72 (84% humidity, 66.5 dew point), overcast, wind S 5 mph. Finish 73 (83% humidity, 67.2 dew point), overcast, wind calm. I changed my attire slightly too exchanging the long sleeve jersey for a thermal long sleeve jersey. I felt more comfortable today. Today’s temperature was about the same but the humidity was higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trying to keep my eyes along the road limits watching other things. The light could have bounced anywhere, someone might have picked it up, or went down a storm drain. I thought of places along the route with bumps and watched there. As I approached the wooden bridge along Kingwood Drive I remembered hearing a noise while riding over it yesterday it is bumpy. I leaned my bike against the railing and walked back across the bridge looking down on the ground and water. Nothing showed up and I think if that was the light falling from the bike it probably went in the water and gone forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the way back home I stopped at Tailwind Bicycles to see if they had a taillight but they are closed on Mondays. When I got home I ordered new NiteRider. While I rode I thought of ways to secure the light to avoid losing another one. Hopefully I think of a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
