It's almost winter. Do you know where your lights are?


This is The Betty. It is the world's most desirable bike light. It is made in Germany, where they buy and sell things with the Euro. The Euro is now worth about two dollars, since the US economy is going down the shitter.

That means Betty now costs a lot more than your average Washington D.C. call-girl... roughly $990.

Even so, there is apparently a two-week waiting list. Are you on that waiting list? If so, take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself: What the hell am I thinking?

For that kind of dough you could fly to Antarctica for the winter, where the sun never sets.
