Comments on: How to Bike Safely After Dark http://roadtobikeacrosskansas.com/how-to-bike-safely-after-dark.html Busy mom training for BAK (someday) Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:35:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tee http://roadtobikeacrosskansas.com/how-to-bike-safely-after-dark.html/comment-page-1#comment-17 Tee Tue, 01 Sep 2009 21:07:56 +0000 http://roadtobikeacrosskansas.com/?p=100#comment-17 I couldn't find a bicycle headlight that truly illuminates as brightly as I think it should, so I started looking at bright flashlights, instead. I purchased a Craftsman flexible-neck light from Sears and used zip ties to affix it to my front basket. It's the brightest headlight I've ever seen on a bike, and it's adjustable so I can put the beam where I truly need it. My taillight is adequate, but I have a spare in my bike bag, just in case. I love to ride at twilight, and often don't get home until it's dark because I'm just enjoying my ride too much to go home before the stars come out.

It shows really good in the car lights. I commute from work after dark, and have purchased tires that actually have a built in reflective strip in the sidewall on both sides.
