I used to ride with a couple Cateye blinkies in front, but a few close calls let me know that I needed even more light. Now I run a 200 lumen Dinotte in addition to the Cateyes. Trust me, if people would just be more aware of their surroundings I wouldn't feel the need to ride with 3 front lights. One or two (in case of malfunction) would be plenty in an ideal world.
