Last night Ved pointed out that my rear light was barely visible. I use a Knog multiple LED light on the rear. I assumed it was just because the batteries were low, so changed them when I got home.
Changed the batteries and it was still fairly dim. Then realised that the LEDs were covered in salt, wiped it off and hey presto blinded myself.
Its just one of those stupid things I had failed to consider given the ammount of salt on the roads at the moment, especially as it's getting warm the salt is being sprayed up over everything. I also have salt stains on my shorts which look like i have the sweatiest arse in history and no - its not last nights fun dribbling out.
