I understand that we go off daylight saving time this coming weekend. So that means it will get darker one hour earlier for most of us. I'm thinking that there must be something that shows up road hazards like potholes, rocks, etc. that are sometimes a challenge to see in the daytime. I suppose a trick is having a bright light source set off from our eye level enough as to cast shadows. That would probably be handlebar mount lights?

I've read over in the electronics forum that folks have had problems with MagicShine's battery packs. Surely, they should be fixing that problem by now. Night Rider? Blaze? Light & Motion? the others...?

I'm thinking that you folks here in the 50+ forum are smart enough to recognize a good product. And considering the wealth of experience you all have, I'm sure someone here knows the #1 top product.

I'm 64, turning 65 in a month. My night vision has always been great - as a licensed pilot making night time landings, I never had any real problem seeing in low light situations. But now that I'm officially in my mid-60's, I'm thinking maybe my night vision isn't what I remember it being. Which is another reason why I'm positive you guys here have the secret to safe and happy night time bicycle riding.
