One thing I learned from camping was that a dimmer diffuse light was actually better than a really bright spot light for general purposes (this was walking, not on a bike). A spot light will give you greater contrast and very dark shadows, and will most likely leave you blind for those areas it doesn't directly illuminate. It may be that you want a 'flood' light bright light on a bike, but I'd be concerned about the lack of ability to see what's not in the beam, especially since I'm thinking you're more out in the country? Just something to consider anyway.

A one candle power (it was literally a candle) "bug light" was perfect for most outdoor tasks (walking to the bathroom, messing around camp) after dark, I liked it *much* better than a bright flashlight.
