For the front I have a bright(!) light that lights the road as if it were
daylight. Money spent here is well spent.
For the rear I have 3 different red blinkies. Bright is good, but they flash out
of sync with each other. I have had motorists tell me that I'm quite visible,
even in the morning twilight.
If you can get them on sale, sooner may be better than newer technology. Be
Seen!

Subject: [Bicycle Commuting] Best commuter lighting?

I have a 12 mile one way commute starting at around 4am. I realized
i
would need both head and tail lights so i started doing a little
research.
Needless to say now im totally confused, lol.
I want the headlight to be rechargable. I will be doing most of the
riding on a poorly lit main street where cars do tend to do around 40
to 50 mph. Also it all has to be easily detachable. A tail light im
guessing should be the strobe type running on aa batteries? But it
also should be easily detached.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. I mapped out the safest
route and cant wait to get started.
