yeah shared mups don't need the same kind of light as we need on the roads. aiming them down helps a lot. I've noticed ppl riding together, & the rider following does not use a light. makes sense, maybe, like if they are following (but not if they come side-by-side), but a reflector please?, or another light on, pointed down? what's wrong w the 2nd rider having a light?
