A good set of lights will really help you to gain some night riding confidence. You could also look for the Ridazz to do one or two rides with while you build some night riding confidence.
I appreciate the advice about getting lights guys, but I have them, I've also done a lot of riding with the Ridazz, it's not my thing, not only the riding at night but the whole scene that group draws (minus the cubs and wolf pack). I don't know how to put it across more clearly, I just really don't enjoy riding at night. It's not fear...it's not the cold, it just puts me in this mood, sorry if that's lame.
Now back to trainers, is it worth it to get one with adjustable tension like the Fluid 2 or the Magneto, and is the fluid 2 worth the extra money? I also thought about rollers but I really want to be able to zone out. Are there any other models from different companies I should know about?
