New Believer!
After multiple threads about flashlights rocking darkened trails, I finally broke down and bought a relatively cheap unit (https://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15335) but one that costs less than my 'bicycle' light.
It took Deal Extreme almost a month to get it to me after multiple backorders, and I still don't have the handlebar mount I ordered, but after grabbing a few tie wraps and some velcro I rigged up a temporary helmet mount and this thing is just da bomb.
I know there are better ones out there, but this thing is less than $20. The mount, charger, and a pair of batteries, all together was still less than $50.
If I turn my old light on at the same time I can't even tell it is on!
