Ive got my eye on some for the winter. Just picked up a rack today so I don't have to ride with a backpack. Fenders will come once the relentless winter rain sets in. I meant to grab a mirror today. I'm starting small commute wise and riding from my apartment to school. Its about 10 miles round trip. I need get my stamina up before a 30 mile round trip ride to work. The road to school is a pretty busy one with a few sketchy spots for bikes, the bike lane vanishes over a couple bridges where vehicular traffic whizzes by at 50mph. The flashing lights on the 'bikes on roadway' sign just don't seem like enough. Being able to see what's coming up behind me without turning my head would be nice.
