Now try it with a good front light and on a Tandem. Then find out that the pilot turns the front light off to get his night sight in and to save batteries.

Best light I have found for night riding is a helmet light. Enables you to see round corners instead of only where the bars point. And it helps you see see those beasties that lurk just out of sight of the main lights. Funny how those mad dogs you can see at the edge of the Lit area is a just a few Rabbits out for a midnight feast.
