derath, I have a DiNotte 5W also, and I like it. But if I had known about the Fenix flashlights beforehand, I would've had to strongly consider getting one (or two) of them instead. They are comparable in lumen output, the only major diff would be runtime compared to the DiNotte models, but easy availability and low price of AA NIMH rechargeables would make it easy to swap out batteries on the run. The DiNotte 5W might have a better flood pattern as well, but hard to say if that would make a big difference without comparing them. The Fenix flashlights would be simple to remove, and could be used for other purposes as well. In low mode, they would be great for a long lasting flashlight in a power outage, for instance. They have SOS and strobe modes, that would be good for an attention getting blinking light during the day.
The Fenix L2D would put him well within his budget too (its listed for 56.50 at

Hell he could buy two of the Fenix flashlights, and it would put him just a little over his 120.00 budget, after buying the batteries and handlebar mounts. They seem to be durable flashlights as well, unlikely to get damaged riding a bike, LEDs are more durable then any bulb on the market.
Here is a review of the Fenix L2D flashlight:
