Probably. I can say the bus I made it on two years ago was mostly empty
By good visibility, are you wanting others to better be able to see you, or for you to better see where you’re going, or both? I have little need of others seeing me whee I run in the dark, but I really need to see where I’m going: I’m a huge fan of PETZL headlamps for this. I’ve gone through a few of their low-end models and their combo of wide illumination, multiple brightness settings, ability to customize the beam angle, and comfort is great. I bought cheap little red flashy lights that I can clip on to the back of the headlamp’s elastic band so if someone happened to be behind me on a short stretch of rarely traveled road, that would be visible from behind.
I like the NoxGear lighted vest, with optional chest lamp. It's better in the winter, when I have something on my neck, because it sometimes rubs against the left side of my neck
I was mainly thinking of others seeing me, but me being able to see is important too!
I can absolutely recommend the Noxgear Tracer vest for increasing your visibility at night. I use mine any time I run after dark, generally using the color cycling feature. I also like their optional light that clips into it. It's nice to have a light attracting bugs to your chest rather than your face.
This is what I use too. There are similar ones out there but being visible at night is not an area I want to skimp on. I also added in some LED reflective arm bands last fall. They are too big for my arms so I use them around my ankles instead. There are 2 solid light options plus a blinking option.
I have a reflective vest that I clip LED visibility lights to, one in the front and one in the back. When I did a Ragnar a few years ago, they wouldn't allow the Nox-type vests that others are recommending and this is what they required. I run on sidewalks in our neighborhood. Someone was parking once as I came by and remarked that I was very visible, so I take that as a good thing.
Welcome to the world of “why be good at one sport when you can suck at three”
Right?! Storms delayed my long run Saturday and I didn’t get out until almost 9am - I figured if all I could manage was an hour walk in the heat, I’d call it good… but the rain really brought the ambient temps down and I wound up having a great run in a T+D of 150-something!I just went outside to walk the dog and thought wow, it doesn’t feel too bad outside! Then I checked the weather: T = 75 and D = 74 (149).
When the T+D gets back into the 130s again, I’m going to feel unstoppable!
FL weather is… special. I feel like the usual running “rules” just don’t apply here.
I just use my Garmin on my wrist that I use for running rather than a specific bike computer. It works well for me. Probably doesn't give me as much bike-specific data as a dedicated bike computer would, though.
I use a Coospo bike computer on my road bike and will also be switching it over to the tri bike I just picked up. I didn't need anything too fancy for me. For my purposes, I track the distance and other stats with my Garmin watch. But I like to be able to have time elapsed, mileage, and speed right in front of me. So that is mainly what I use it for. But the Coospo will save all the cycling data if you want. So far I have had no issues with the GPS. It has worked pretty great. Battery life has been good too. I think I paid around $50 for it.
