Again congrats..You will find it rewarding..A point, so many think night riding you can be seen better. So many gadgets to be seen with.. I have like a reflecterized fest that has a flasing panel, UFO lights, I attach to my hadle bars that flashes...The calves of your legs too....I have a flashing light that attaches to my helmet..Reflecterized ankle bands...
I take along a spare miniaturized light in case I get a flat.. But, you main light must be strong..Michigan roads have so many pot holes...Never over ride your light...
Eventually, you might like night riding enough..Head out to the country to hear the rural noises, smell the cows , and appreciate no traffic under a full moon..
