I was sure to use an old PDU as a clothes line, not the fiber cable, ha!<\/p>\n<p>I also used a Light and Motion Vega 200 on the front on blink mode so I could be seen. FYI I also have a Light and Motion Vega 120 which I bought first  at a  local shop assuming it blinked.  But I made an uninformed purchase and the 120 does not blink, and takes 8 hours to trickle charge with no charge indicator on the light. Totally a let down, I kept it as I bought it in the spring on sale and did not have the opportunity to return it in the 14 day window, since I never even opened it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">UPDATE<\/span> <br \/>On a whim I checked to see if  the local shop I purchased the light from &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/bigbangbikes.com\/\">Big Bang Bikes<\/a> &#8211; would let me return the light. They did! I traded it in for a Light and Motion 200 which they had in stock. Props to them! They didn&#8217;t have to do that, but it was really nice of them and I appreciate at.  Thanks a ton!<\/p>\n<p>The Vega 200 fixes all those problems, blinks and quick charges with a charge indicator. Just wish I never bought the 120.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_Jz4f840sc_c\/So367fLZrxI\/AAAAAAAACA4\/jZ4vKPvV0g8\/s1600-h\/IMGP0766.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_Jz4f840sc_c\/So367fLZrxI\/AAAAAAAACA4\/jZ4vKPvV0g8\/s400\/IMGP0766.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372225830411415314\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I woke up to this a few weeks ago&#8230;I threw on some Manpris (showers pass hybrid zip-offs) and a rain jacket (showers pass elite&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bike"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
