if I am going for a serious night ride I bring two headlights.
My oldest Urban 500 just stopped holding a charge (I am in the process of replacing the battery) but it announced that it had stopped holding a charge by dying. Sure, I can manage .... only a couple times in my life when it would have been too dark to ride without lights, and since I used to commute starting back before rechargeable batteries were a thing, and when they were first introduced, they sucked .... I have done plenty of riding by ambient light. I still like to go dark sometimes on moonlit nights ... but it is a pain, having to turn on my light when I see cars approaching from a distance .... but I don't want to be one of those unlit ninja casualties, or just scare some car when something big and dark passes in the oncoming lane.
