@kelbot @darkstar @linm @tk @claudiom @publius @robert588 @pizzapal @jirka @stug @normandc @cosullivan @bicycle @BicycleBen @ParadeGrotesque @jamesp @northernlights @CptBichez Just upgraded my Panasonic bar end caps with bar end blinkers! Just press the button to blink, set to continuous beam, or turn off. Did a test ride this evening to NCI Shady Grove.

I mainly ride on bike lanes so I want to be visible adjacent to cars. I will definitely turn the LEDs on the front downward and I do have a yellow wrap around light for which I could swap the white LEDs.

I got some new downtube decals from VeloCals and replaced the old beat up ones. An old credit card and hand sanitizer really helped pull out the old decals.

I applied decals to both sides. Next up, I am considering lightly removing rust from the upper drive side seat stay with WD-40 and touching up with the best matching paint possible - hopefully Testors Glossy Yellow. If not, I will just wax over it.

Probably in steel blue as it's close to the color inverse of yellow.

Really needed it to maintain 70-80 rpm cadence on hills. Got nice views of Lake Needwood as on the BikeE.

We ate at Caboose Brewery.
