I think I want to try a helmet light, especially for the front. Unfortunately, price is a MAJOR concern. The little bitty "spider" lights look pretty much worthless. Are there any suggestions for inexpensive helmet lights? How do they attach? Seems like something that straps under the slots in the helmet would be very annoying.
Yes, the itty bitty 'spider' lights are useless. Look here. $40 bucks isn't expensive and this light blow anything else in it's price range and lots of lights that are much more expensive. It comes with a head band but I would modify it so that you can mount the light through the vents of your helmet for a more positive attachment.
