No Podfade Here!

Okay, so I certainly have not been consistent in posting to this page but when I do, you can be sure that it will be filled with informative fun filled goop.  Goop is a word by the way.  A sticky wet viscous substance.

Anywho, took an early morning road ride today re-anointing myself with the dusty road bike.  Sitting on that thing, I quickly felt and heard the neglect I have put it through.  But, with no time to waste, I promptly juiced up the tires and hit the road. 
Street night riding conjures some freaky panic feelings in me.  I am always looking over my shoulder expecting to see two bright lights bearing down on my path.  I suppose I would not be so paranoid if I lit my back end up a little better.  Sure, I wear reflective gear and a little blinky light but I seriously need to invest in more if I plan on increasing the frequency of these rides.  That being said, here are a couple neat items I found that could alleviate my jittery disposition.

Reelight is offering a new setup to an old idea.  The inductive powering capabilities of the motion provided by the rider give this setup the power it needs.  No batteries or re-charging.  Just peddle and it blinks.  I have a flashlight that works in a similar fashion.  You shake the magnet through the coil of wire and poof, light!

Another cool item I ran across long ago is a jersey that has neon flashing lighting sewed into the material.  You insert a couple batteries and it provides a bright strobing beam that surrounds your body.  The only issue here is I cannot find the link for the site.  It has all the performance aspects you would expect from your cycling wear but adds the benefit of being seen when out before and after daylight hours. 
Someone point me in the right direction. 

A comment posted to MoCycling requested I put forth more effort on getting a podcast setup with Jan Kopka and Peter Basinger.  I agree.  I am pressed for time but write my commitment here to getting some talk time nailed down with these guys.
