out on my nice little recovery run, just bumbling along, minding my own business, when around the corner comes a sight to see!

It was either a dude or a running Christmas tree wearing:
A reflective vest
A BRIGHT LED headlamp
Not one, but TWO red flashing LEDs on the front of his vest...
And nothing on the rear.

All this on a lit paved running loop next to a 4 lane road with street lights the entire way.

I couldnt stop laughing. I may have let a comment like "Wow! You're lit up!" out. Overkill... from the front anyway :rolleyes:

I understand safety first, but I would be worried about blinding people with that display and having them run into me!

Had to share.

Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

Come on....I love wearing my Christmas tree costume when I run. Chicks dig it. Between that and running shorts I can hardly hold 'em back!

Here's my "so there I was" story.

So there I was riding in a pace line, second from the end. Guy behind me shouts out "wiener back". Wiener back? Da hell does that mean? Sure enough, a few seconds later one of those Oscar Meyer hotdog car goes by.

I was in a time trial once where the lady starting in front of me was on a banana seat bike with a licesnse plate that said "honk if you love smurfs". I spent the first 3 miles trying to recover from laughing at seeing her mixed in with all the serious hard core time trialers and their fance bikes.
