There were two of us, we took turns, the rider in front with the headlight on, and the back with the tail light on. Then we swapped positions, to use only one headlight at a time. It worked pretty good.
One critical street sign, instead of being parallel with the correct street, was at at a 45 degree angle to both streets. No way to tell.
The next week I bought a light that runs for eight hours. That is very relaxing, I can ride 50 miles in 5 hours, even stopping to look around. and have a few flats to boot.
Yes, fun !!
