Reading light
The little headlight I clip onto my handlebars has a tendency to die pitifully, always at the beginning of the ride back to the train at night. I have not yet learned to anticipate how long the charge will last.
But last night, as this morning early, the moon was so bright and the sky so clear it almost didn't matter. This morning in particular one could read a book in the moonlight. Last night it was very slightly cloudy at about 7 pm when I rode home, though. I wondered what would happen if some utility vehicle had dropped a load of wood or bricks and forgot to pick them up before sundown. Or if a limb had fallen off a tree along the trail. Or if the cold had caused one of the persistent puddles to ice over right in the middle of a trail.
