What’s the general opinion on night riding and what’s your go-to lighting system?
I love night riding, and at this time of year it basically becomes necessary as we lose daylight in the northern hemisphere. When riding trails I run an 1100 lumen Cygolite metro on the bars and an 850 lumen expelion on my helmet with a bontrager flare rear light on my seat post for occasional road transits.
For bike paths I use the metro on the bars with a light and motion vis 360 on my helmet. The vis 360 is a fantastic light that I really recommend. It lets you spotlight anything you want and has a built in rear helmet light with side lights as well.
For road riding it’s the cygolite/vis 360/flare on solid and a Garmin Varia rear radar unit. Make fun all you want of my “lit up like a Christmas tree” setup…I don’t want to die because some cagey doesn’t see me.
