If I do, that'll be my third light. I've tried that, and I've found I don't like the additional weight on the helmet, and I tend to blind people when I look at them. Might be OK if I pick a small flashlight, however.
Advantage A: Available whatever bike you are riding.
Every bike in the household has at least one of the $2 flashlight mounts on it, so I just put a flashlight on whatever bike I'm riding, and have several more ready for the rest of the family too if they want to ride. Works well.
What will you be doing with two computers?
Computing! Actually, one is a standard cyclocomputer and one is a GPS. I don't always have the GPS with me, but I still like to keep track of how far each bike has been ridden, and so a (cheap) cyclocomputer on each bike does that nicely, and even if I forgot the GPS at home.
Right now, while I'm intrigued by Burton's HED water bottle mount (would just need to make a way to mount a bar on the end of it), I think I'll just go with a standard stem. Looks like I can use a stem with a 30 mm stem height -- that's exactly how much space I have, and while that's on the short side, they do exist. Just need to find a long one and I'm set.
