Yuba Mundo Wheel Skirts

 
My Yuba Wheel Skirts came today. I called Yuba and requested the skirts after I saw the recall notice posted on Facebook. Now, I've never felt that my little backseat rider's feet were in much danger as I usually keep both Go-Getter bags on, making a barrier between the passenger and the wheels. However, if I ever want to ride without the bags, yeah, I would say little feet could get hurt. So why take chances when I can get the safety upgrade for free?

Checking in: Day 2

Just a quick note to record my bike activity, such as it was today. Only two miles put in, but I did do it in the evening and I used my new headlight from Costco. This is a real deal: for $9.99, the package includes 3 headlights on elastic that can be worn on a bare head or over a helmet. The light has 3 settings, one of them "flashing", which gives off a powerful beam. Money well spent. A lot of light after dark gives me more confidence to get out there without undue risk; for additional visibility, I did wear my yellow reflective vest and a flashing red rear light.



 
Some of the reflective surfaces on the bike and on my vest.
I didn't have the helmet light yet.
