Is it a wide beam that illuminates everything close but nothing at a distance, or is it something you can use a 20 mph?
I got a headlamp that had both a strap to put around your head and a bicycle handlebar mount about a year or two ago, it is great as a headlamp on your head but you can't see anything at a distance, so not very useful on a bike at speed. I carry it as a backup but mainly in case I need to fix a flat in the dark.
