On the way home recently, I glanced at the rear light on the Brompton to check all was well, and found that it wasn’t: the rear light had apparently forgotten what it was supposed to do. The next day at work I put the bike into a stand and swapped the rear light for one we had in stock. Fortunately it worked, saving much swearing and checking of the wiring.

As shown above, this is now working, which is quite a relief, apart from the obvious desirability of being visible to drivers in the dark, the police in Tübingen don’t like ninja cyclists.

The picture above is taken in the pedestrian/bike tunnel linking the north and south of the city, and which will feature in this blog in the future.
