Cycling is Fernando Gallard's favorite way of achieving fitness, having fun, and relieving stress - essential in light of his job fielding media queries for the Philadelphia School District.

Lights, lights, and more lights. As the days get shorter the amount of hours in the dark increases, therefore we have no choice other than to ride in the dark. To go about this safely you must have at least a front light and a rear light. I’ve seen all types of lights from high-powered LEDs to dinky glow sticks wedged in people’s wheels. What I have not seen before is the Fibre Flare.
