Lone_Bullet Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Quite the title to raise the neck hair of the common motorist, eh? Joking aside, I'd like to start this topic because I know we have several bike commuters and as far as I know, no topic open on it yet. After an good 10 years of 14km single way commuting on bike, and a few years going only trough the city, I shall have to gear up again for a 10km+ commute because I'm very close to definitely moving into my 'new' home. After friggin 4 years. I have some nice bright red and blazing orange Arc'teryx micro fleece and rain gear, as wel a sa merinho woolen thermal underwear which works wonder in temps from 5 - 15 °C. My Knogg ' to be seen' lights are worn out though. Thats the thing with rechargeable blinkers: when the battery's gone you can throw away the whole unit. Any recommendations ? My weather conditions here are very similar to UK weather. I like the idea of having 'to be seen lights' which are visible from the side as well. I have SO many T-junctions...

amateurstuntman Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Anything made by Busch and Muller is a good light. If you can afford it I recommend the dynamo front wheel build and dynamo light. Can't be beaten. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Perhaps get a non cyclist friend to help you install the lights so you get them the right way around. I know some cyclists have issues identifying red lights Link to post Share on other sites

I know some cyclists have issues identifying red lights Oh thats alright, motorist hit me no matter what I do. I've been listening to motorists on what to do with the colors of the traffic lights! Orange was maximum speed and red you slam the brakes, right? Though I only like that sequence when it's followed by blue lights behind them. I pride myself on following the traffic laws closely, friend Link to post Share on other sites
