I've got lights and bright colored clothing but my only fitness route is a rural highway, some parts without a shoulder! Even well lit and reflective, I don't trust riding in the dark among cars going 60-70 mph. I've braved it out a few times (accidentally once
without any lights last week
) but if its not the darkness that makes me unmotivated its the cooler temperatures.
I was extremely disappointed today, the temps were in the high 50s (unusually high for this time of the year in this region) and I was stuck working or driving when I should've been riding the bike! When I finally got home and got the bike ready, it was 5:00 and getting dark by the second. The temps were mid to high 40s by now, which is still decent, I decided to turn the lights on and go for a quick 5 mile ride anyway(wanted to ride further but my rear blinking light seemed to be really dim)
Can anyone recommend a rather cheap but bright rear light? My cheap Bell rear light isn't worth crap
