8:50a - Brilliant
I've just found out about a wonderful invention: the dynamo light-up pedals. They are of course no substitute for constant lights, but additional light while moving can never be a bad thing, plus it's a fail-safe for those annoying days when the battery dies because you forgot to turn the light off in the morning....
Apparently SPD- and toeclip- compatible versions are in the pipeline; now I just wish they'd do ones that don't flash.

9:22a - More brilliance
The Greater Lyon Velo'v project - a public bicycle network with 3000 bikes and stations every 300 metres through the central city, and prices set such that using one is by far the cheapest way of making short trips (free for half an hour or an hour, just expensive enough after that to encourage people to return them to the stations). London would do well to imitate.
