Most of my commute is on a dedicated bike lane next to a two-lane road. When it's really dark, the headlights from oncoming traffic wash out my headlight and I can't see anything until they pass. There are very few street lights to mitigate this problem.
Any suggestions?
are the cars coming up behind you and washing the light out or coming at you? i have had good luck with cygolite for bike lights. I have 850 lumens and want to upgrade to the 1100 lumens light.
i think cars headlights have gotten brighter as well. if you are using AA batteries you should probably consider a light that is usb rechargeable.
