Emergency Lights

At this time of year it is easy to underestimate the time needed for a summer evening ride and you find yourself returning when it is dusk becoming dark.

Small battery operated lights are an essential safety feature. They weigh next to nothing, do not take up much room, they do not cost much and they run for ages. A rear light is useful not only for the road it is also very handy off-road. The front light improves road visibility, especially in flash mode, and is a useful emergency light if your main beam dies mid-ride. If it clips off easily, it can be used when reassembling your bike in a dark car park or when carrying out emergency repairs at the trailside. Small battery lights are a great safety feature but in no way are they suitable for illumination when riding off-road.
