a cheap one with a clip that takes AA or AAA batteries

the clip will be easiest to zip tie on.
Battery lights should last significantly longer between things than rechargeable ones.
With rear ones you run in flashing mode, it's fine. Front ones to see by it's not really.
It's not your primary light either.

imo front light= rechargeable
rear lights = batteries

really it could be anything though. A silicone strap designed for a seatpost is almost definitely also going to fit easily on a helmet.

For lights you've got basically two options Bontrager Flare or Garmin Varia. Flare if you just want a light and Varia if you want radar to go with the light. And mount them on the seatpost.

The Varia is amazing if you ride in non constant traffic. Everyone doubts it until they try one and then swear by it. The Flare is hands down the best rear light I've ever seen. But yeah, save a couple dollars and buy shit from Amazon that won't last you half a year and has a shitty light people won't see.

not him but really 'good' rear lights are fucking annoying for other cyclists if you run them in flash mode and if you run them constant then they chew through batteries and don't really work for cars.

Good lights have "peloton/night" mode flashes for when you're riding with other people so you don't blind your friends but still get seen by cars.

>>1856496
Then why do you need a light?

>>1856497
I average ~20 000 km a year.

Just works, good battery life, good visibility

>>1856512
Then get the Flare, potentially the city version which is cheaper.

oh so just like any other non-bottom-of-the-barrel light.

get these OP and never look back, they're like $20, bright as fuck, big battery, quick charge, waterproof
they come with different mounts so you can just glue/ziptie one of them to the back of your helmet

Guaranteed those don't last half a year of all weather use.

this only applies if you're riding around in pitch black suburbs, anyone riding on city streets has enough flashing lights from police cars and fire trucks and coned vans that a blinky taillight is no big deal and likely to go unnoticed

Your helmet may not last as long either, you're supposed to replace them when they get hit hard.

Yes, it is worth it if you're riding fast on roads or trails. I've crashed plenty of times in nearly 30 years of riding doing stupid things on BMX and mountain bikes, and have been taken out by other riders on my road bike a few times, and a helmet can make the difference between a crash that hurts and one that hurts and also prevents you from seeing or thinking clearly after you pick yourself up off the ground, or the difference between simply getting knocked unconscious and dying.
