Flood on the handlebars, throw on the helmet. I have a P7 flashlight attached to the handlebars and a Q5 flashlight on the helmet. I really like the helmet light because I can point it in any direction. It also is helpful on the one mile of unlit MUP at night. I can use it to scan the edges of the path for critters. As it's a residential area, I've seen cats and I really don't want to hurt someone's pet.
