I've also got a set of these Lezyne backup lights (£12 for two is pretty cheap), the rear light fits through a loop on the saddle bag (Decathlon cheapy) and the front fits to the bars. Having two lights on means if one of them runs out mid-ride, you'll still be lit.

Handy little lights those, I use them for sportives - nice and light.

If you haven't got the intelligence to realise when your "jokes" have become sick, disruptive and pandering to victim blaming, you are not as clever or funny as you think you are.
Get back under the bridge and let people have a sensible discussion without your jokes.

Excellent value for money, got mine on Ebay for £12 (brand new, from a bike shop).

Downside, i've heard of people getting complaints from drivers about these being too bright.

From a drivers perspective, I really don't mind lights like that, anything that improves the visibility of cyclists is a good thing to me.

I bought this two weeks ago

To say it's bright is an understatment!!!

Word to the wise, Google is your friend. After seeing it on Chain Reaction I managed to buy it for £12.99 delivered and with batteries!

Also, the above person who said you should ride with TWO rear lights, Amen to that. If you have just one and it stops working you won't know and you could easily get hit by a car. I also carry a spare front light

OK, it's expensive, but the Cateye TL-LD1100 is very good indeed.

The Lady Wife and I each have one of those on the back of our rear carriers, together with different seatpost-mounted Cateyes which we've had for donkey's years as backups.

Dynamo Lights are the way forward for all utility bikes. Busch & Muller lights (via Dutch Bike Bits) are great. You're never without them, and the you never run out of power.

Modern LED light give 10s of hours of bright light from a single battery without the drag on the bike.

Indeed they do. But in practice we've never noticed the drag induced by the modern hub dynamos on two of our bikes, and the rear lights have built-in capacitors so they stay on while you're stopped at a red light or whatever.

In fact the only problem with our dynamo bikes is that the light output from the front light isn't really sufficient to illuminate the road ahead when you're away from street lights.

For us, the answer's dynamo lights and battery lights!
