lighting problem with bike rider

hi
friends

i wa
Anyone face anyproblem lighting during bike riding mountains???? this is a big problem commonly encountered by bike rider.

once I was riding Llandegla red/black route last week 15/03 when I had an encounter with a tree bending the forks completely out of shape.(I've written off front wheels before and haven't bent the forks.) Then on sunday whilst racing at the Whinlatter Mountain Bike Challenge a friend of mine fell and snapped the bridge on his Sids........
what is better solution for this problem???

I`m guessing you`re having issues with flat and low loght conditions and the usual solution for that is a combination of bar and helmet mounted lights. Preferably 900 lumans or more each.

You might want to have a visit to the lighting forum where some of this is discussed in more detail.

Don't wear sunglasses, clear lenses only. May have to slow down too. Similar to out riding your lights on snowmobile or a crotch rocket.
