With Daylight Savings time now in effect, it's getting darker sooner day by day. Chicago is a town that's easy to travel by bicycle, but it's the law to have a headlight and a rear reflector so that you'll be seen at night. We practice what we preach and use lights.

He's been talking about this for many years, so we're glad it's finally happening.
