I was cycling at night, dodging cars, and was somewhat concerned about
getting hit, so I stopped by my local walmart to pick up some reflector
things or something to wear. I found some reflectors with a littled LED
in the middle (Dead batteries included) and as I started to put them on
me as I left and started to get on my uni, the greeting man told me
about these tirefly things...they screw onto your tire valve, and when
you start going, they flash in ultraviolet blue (or red or green).
They're meant for cars, so your wheels can match the color of the light
from the cold cathodes inside your dashboard, around your license plate,
and under your car. But they seem to work quite well for unis, too. At
first they only went on from jumping and starting, (and of course it
shins birghtly every time you fall, getting everyone's attention), but
after a day or two of riding with it on, it seems more sensitive, and
now it seems to stay lit most of the time while riding on smooth ground
and grass.
(Am I really late in discovering these? Is this something the unicycing
community has been doing for months, or is it still really cool?)
Anyway, as soon as I get some more of these and a spoiler on the back of
my uni, chick will really dig me, right?
