Have you posted a photo of your lights? I'd like to see them.

No, I don't have a good one yet. I would ideally like to get a pic of the wheels while they are spinning with lights on and visible, but without blurring the rest of me. I think I will have to find a weekend day near twilight and hire xuth to help me out there, since I have neither the technical skills nor the arms length to selfie that.

Indoor bike trainer?

Heh, don't have one of those either, and I suspect acquiring one would be more trouble than getting a picture. :)

Something I found super useful 2 winters ago was wrist warmers to cover the gap between sleeve and glove -- I suspect that my hands get less circulation when my wrists are cold, and the wind tends to blow up my sleeves. (I have long arms, so the sleeves often pull up when I'm riding.) I took two (of my many) otherwise fluffy wool socks that had blown out at the heels and cut them in half across the ankle, which made for *very* nice wrist warmers. (I don't know what to do with the other halves!)

Circulation is definitely the issue here, but cold wrists/arms isn't. My usual warmest gloves go up well past my cuff (or if i put my jacket on after the gloves, they're really sealed in place), and I have definitely been on rides where my core/arms were warm and sweaty, and my fingertips were still frozen.
