« Night Cycling: Steady + Blinky = Safer | Main | Contest: Most Visible Night Cyclist for December »
The winner for November is Derek Pearson from Olympia!
In fairness, Derek was the only entrant, but this was just the first month of the contest. Regardless, I think Derek's creativity has set a high bar for other contenders out there.

His setup consists of:
-5 down low glow tubes, available in six colors.
-2 serfas t1000 taillights
-1 nightrider trailrat headlight
Derek's advice: "...more is more. Get all kinds of lights up. If you can do something fun with them all the better:"

Derek says "...cars make a very wide pass around us at night :) Since we went crazy on lights, there's never even been a close call, a lot of cars will actually give us the full car lane on 2 way streets if there's nothing coming the other way. Generates a lot of conversation anywhere we stop as well. No better way to engage bicycle type conversation with the masses :)"
Motorist probably think they are coming up on a UFO when Derek & his wife come into view.
Excellent work, Derek!
