See the Lights

The other day I was biking home after work when out of nowhere…

See the Lights

It gets dark early these days. That means lights are something to plan on having. But even some folks that technically have lights don’t make it easy to see them.

So make sure to remember your lights, but also make sure they are visible.

    Retroreflective tape in strategic places all over your bike is a good way to augment lights, for that time batteries fail, a light is stolen or your light mount fails after a particularly violent pothole encounter.

    Here is my rear light. Yes, it is massive overkill, but even the most psychopathic of car drivers is going to have to try very hard to not see me.

      I can look like an alien spaceship while riding through darker areas.

    As a recovering light addict (working on it), I have to agree with the helmet light comments. They get people’s attention when your bike lights are obscured by parked cars and traffic and you can point the front light at cars in intersections to let them know you’re there. I love the 1/2 watt rear blinkies that provide daytime visibility (the 1 watt versions just seem like battery hogs). Okay, that’s all I’m allowed to say on my 12-step program without sliding back.

    I actually have two lights on the front and two on the back. On front and rear are my main lights, but I have two smaller cheaper lights which are great just in case one of the lights fail or the battery runs out unexpectedly. Seeing as you wouldn’t easily notice the rear one do this, I definitely recommend everyone have at least 2 lights on the rear.
