Unlike my usual setup that ends up with addonitis, camera/lights front and rear plus an extra 2 rear 1 front lights and GPS for good measure.
Do you run the lights on in the daytime?
Not on any bike with battery lights but on the dynamo-enhanced ones I do if only so I don't have to bother with switches.
"Addonitis", that's great! I'm going to steal that one! It's blocked in the picture but it does sport a Garmin unit and I'm suspecting that radar may creep it's way in. This bike gets a lot of urban miles where I'm matching the pace of surrounding vehicles, but I think this season it will find itself on more shared country-ish roads with limited shoulders where that extra measure may be useful.
