Very, very confused over what to get and put on for rear.
Should be Red, I guess, and have a blinking mode.
Zillions avail. at Amazon, but which one ?
$ not an object.
Want the truly brightest, and I would think large, to put on rear.
Really should be bright.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks, appreciate the help,
Bob
You are correct, lights need to be bright and have patterns designed to grab an unobservant drivers attention. Stay away from “marker” lights as they do not put out enough light and are only visible if you are looking for it or know it’s there. I see this all the time riding in groups. An unobservant driver is not going to see it. Yes the front should be white and the rear should be red. I use Cygolite Dash pro for the front and Cygolite Dice TL50 for the rear. Although my rear light does the job, you can get brighter ones. Visit
