Over half of my riding is done in the dark since my free time is early morning before work. All I have at the moment is a cheap Bell headlamp and blinky out back, and belive it or not, it puts out more than enough light for me to see. To go any distance I need to either get on the highway to the west of me, or get to the I55 service road west of me. Both are quite busy, so I wear a lovely orange reflective vest (also run with it in the dark) and my helmet has a red blinky on the strap. Unfortunately the closest trails to me are in Memphis across the river.

The first Sunday morning I went out with my lights was heavy fog. It was quite eerie. The bad part is that I could hear the cars before I would see their headlamps...
