Not a winning business strategy
So, I found a website selling the Cygolite headlight I want to get. I go through all the rigamarole and BS of creating an account (since there is no other way). I get to the point of checking out, and type in all my vital, wallet-draining details. I hit ye olde submit button, and it pops up a little window saying, "you can't pay with a credit card. Select another payment method."
I'll give you one guess as to whether alternate payment methods are listed on this website. You'd be right if you guessed "none."
Ohhhh-kaaay. It's now hard to believe this business is actually, well, in business.

I got myself over to REI tonight to look at a couple of bicycle headlights I'm considering as successors to the current headlight's throne. I was going to do a simple write-up in here, but decided to do it full-on style (sort of) as a proper review.
My review of a couple of LED headlights
Enjoy!

The temperature on my little gizmo said 33.3° F. That is, about 1° C. I biked in anyway, wearing more layers than I really needed.
Unfortunately, what I neglected to really cover was my head. My ears were freezing by the time I arrived, and I felt the distinctive taut feeling of an ice cream headache developing. It's mostly gone now, fortunately.
So, proof I can ride in quite cold circumstances, at least. Even with the cold, I was still too warm (in a way) when I arrived. I still have some work to do on appropriate levels of insulation.
