Biking after the dark has set in is so much different from biking during day with no or negligible visibility and light beams of other vehicles falling blinding you, it can be testing and risky to move ahead on murky trails. It is both a prerequisite and law to have a lighting systems that can produce a white, strong light visible from a distance on every bike to ensure safety.

Ummm.... Well, you almost got that right. And?

I would like to add that fenders are more necessary when it is raining.

And Means ????

Yes right RPK79.

Fenders can also serve the purpose is to prevent sand, mud, rocks, liquids, and other road spray from being thrown into the air by the rotating tire.

"And?" means what did you mean to accomplish by stating the obvious on a forum full of experienced cyclists???

Yes I agree with you but I just here shared my thought.

In other news, round wheels roll better than square blocks.

OP, I'm curious... what type of light(s) do you think are needed for riding at night?

I wear my sunglasses at night.

Basically Front Lights as well as Rear lights I am talking about.

This calls for a visit from.......

Yes, you have win lotterys, please send me $1,000 usa moneys to recieves prize. Ok now I see., you own bike lights UK. How about a post with correct punctuation and grammar combined with something that does not insult us? Maybe a question on lumens or lighting preferences etc.

What's lumens, Precious?

Adam my mate, you've got it.
Yes, lights is very necessary in the dark.
Remember that by law, the color of lights must differ, normally white in front and red in the back. Just remember that this may vary from country to country.
Remember also that lights can and may be used during the day, either to make yourself and your bicycle more visible or to help you see in low light conditions.

Learn a bit everyday to make yourself a safer cyclist. Now go out and play in the street.

My friends tell me it's easier to stop when you have brakes.

It is. An brakes are more necessary when you are moving.

In our part of the world lighting is not only required by law ( as are reflectors) but are a normal part of cycling. Perhaps in your area this is not as prevalent. Thanks for your input.

I never use lights at night. I wear night vision goggles instead. Light just make it easier for them to find you!

I'm going to paint my tin foil hat matte black now. Can't make it too easy for them....

Your friends don't ride fixed gear bikes?

(O.k. Many of them do have brakes, but not all of them.)

OP sells lights.

My future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.
I get on a bike to go, not to stop.

that's what I love about the BF - we're all so welcoming to those novices who's primary language is not English. hope he don't quit
