I was happy to be able see where I was going using a couple Magic Shine lights. But I was lot safer when I added a Solar Force M8 torch for no other reason but to "get attention" when I think I need it. Better to be a geek than a statistic.....
My wife was jogging and I was riding shotgun with the bike with the double torches up front. She said they were blinding, even when you don't look at them. I said ok. Now, when time came to fix her bike up, I told her, I was going to put two smaller flashlights on her bike, since the kind I was running on my bike were according to my always-right-wife too bright. Guess what she said?? No, put the same thing you got on your bike!! WTF!! I said "baby, you said they were too bright and blinding, I don't want you to blind nobody".. She said "
put the dam things on my bike too"
Hence, my wife's bike is running two Keygos Ke-1s up front.
