i'm planning on using my old trek 4500 to commute to work and such and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what kind of head light i should get. i did some research and it seems like lots of people were dissatisfied with regular battery powered lamps and the rechargeable ones look disgustingly expensive. i also saw some sidewall dynamo generators and hub generators. does anyone have any experience with these? thanks.
Most local laws stated that there needs to be a red light in the rear and a headlight in the front.
My ride home is at 1am in the morning.
I have used and broken several AA battery ones.
I decided to go without lights. Stay on well lit roads and pretend that I am invisible to traffic and get out of the way.
So far . after some 10 years. No run-ins with cars , cops or any problems.
I do carry a small maglite in my bag in case of a mechanical.
However , At the local shop I work PT at .
There is a cateye LED light that the customers rave about.
Uses little battery power but is bright.
