rain, lights, night
I have a Cateye brand light mounted on my handlebars, an energizer headlamp strapped to my pumpkin-head, and a rear blinkie.
With the inevitable summer Florida rains, [sometimes heavy] can anybody offer any tips on whether these lights will hold up in the rain? Or should I cover them with plastic baggies? Or should I pocket them during the heavy rains and just ride with reckless and free abandon into the darkness?
Most of my [night-time] ten mile commute is on a bike trail that sometimes is quite dark and in some places is covered by over-hanging tree limbs; but generally it is in good paved condition.
Will rain ruin the lights? Thanks.
