Best light for bike
What is the best light I can get for my bike? I bought a cat eye and the bracket broke off the bottom of the light rendering it useless. The light still works but I can not mount it to the bracket on the bike. Kind of a cheesy set up.

Now, if you just want something to use while you are in camp, I'd get something like this. My daughter and I used them on our trip along the Columbia this summer and they are very bright, last a long time and have 2 settings. We even used them to explore APE Cave near Mt. St. Helens. They could even fit on your helmet in a pinch. They are a great little light.
One word about lights and touring. I carry a light with me on tour. Always have. Something that I can use if I get caught out at night. But I have never used one while touring...not on the bike anyway. I have never been out late enough to need it. The only place I ever use them is in camp, so I carry one that works well in camp. Do you need one, in case you are out late? Yes. Should you carry one? Definitely! Will you ever use it on the bike? Probably not. But listen to the voice of your mother in your head and carry one anyway

Frog lights by Knog are amazing. no clamps/brackets to worry about (theyre kinda like a jelly bracelet) and they're $9 a pop.
