I run 100 psi, and man I really have to avoid any ruts, or I'll be adjusting spokes.
I have a little battery lamp off the front riser, and a red strobe off the back... but I mostly ride in the day, so I never need them.

Here's a nice, recent shot of how fully loaded and equipped it is, with me on it.

Notice the aforementioned headlights and airhorn, the additional equipment includes a deep-cycle wheelchair battery hooked to a stereo box on the rack.

The air horn is cool as hell :lol:

I'd love to see a bicycle cop chase you down for an equipment check.
Light you up, and get on his PA..."alright pull over!" http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...d10/busted.gif

I went in the other direction with my bike. (everything light weight)
I like to cruise at around 15-20mph on flatland.
It's all backwoods and hills where I'm at.

Most excitement I get is, barely outrunning a dog, and having to growl back and kick in a panic. :pissedoff:

This one dog was a frequent offender, so I started packin' a squirtgun. :D

The above picture was taken down in a park in Culver City, right near the LA neighborhood of Venice.
The riding's relatively flat and non-windy down there, but I deal with high-winds and rolling hills up here in the Victorville area on my daily commute.
As for dogs, they usually run the other way when I dismount.
