Recumbent What IS that thing?! Recumbents may be odd looking, but they have many advantages over a "wedgie" bicycle. Discuss the in's and out's recumbent lifestyle in the recumbent forum.

Lights

I just got myself a second hand windcheetah.
Can anyone recommend a modern solution for front lights.
Most info seems to be for ye olde incandescent lights and even dynamo setups whereas most people are now using smaller/brighter/longer lasting LED lamps.
The lights themselves are not a problem - it's my front mounting that is looking for a neat solution.

My solution was to put my lights on my dog's running bar which is attached to one of the support tubes on the back of my seat. They're more so drivers can see me than for navigation, so they're very inexpensive, LEDs.

Unfortunately, most people don't have a handy horizonal bar extending to either side of their seat. :/

Congrats on your new ride. You may find some mounting ideas here. I use the TerraCycle mount on my ICE Q.

Thanks those look interesting. I wish I'd seen them before.
In the mean time I've made up something my self to carry two (really bright) LED lamps. We'll see how long it lasts!
