Lezyne macro duo (have a mount, may need different mount if helmet mounted)
Lezyne…small one. Sub 400 lumen I suspect (Inc mount).
Couple of eBay specials. Not the best flood/spot … but they are bright. Separate power pack. Have some but suspect they would need replacing (plus charger.. Not overly expensive).
No spare rears, tho I’ve only used Moon. And they never break.
Please don’t get lights suitable for 10km on pitch black roads to ride on shared use cycle paths in town with lighting (okay, the ones by the sewage works break pretty often) And point them down at the footpath so you’re not blinding all the poor folk out walking.
These are the important new laws we need to fix broken Britain. An offence that mildly irritates dozens of people a day . Coppers with handheld lux meters perhaps?
This chat is making me want to get out for a night ride now
There probably already is an offence for this for motor vehicles and they want to bring a law in for bikes to make them the same
As with most laws related to cycling, they’re pretty pointless unless they actually enforce them and City of London is the only force that I see regularly stopping cyclists in London .
I think car lights front and rear on modern cars are so bright that even with lights a bike is difficult to see at night.
You’re almost looking for the silhouette against the car lights rather than the bike lights
That wind certainly had some chill to it. First outing for the full bibs, thicker jacket, winter gloves and buff. Thought I would cook but was just about right.
Also back to dark mornings all the way in nearly
Countdown to Dec 21st is very much on.
I haven’t cycled yet but noticed it walking the dog the last 2 mornings. The long trousers and wooly hat came out this morning but my hands were still frozen, especially after I let him have a run around dragging the lead behind him, then have to pick it up again soaking wet.
Hoping to cycle in on Friday when it says -2, feels like -4
My street is normally covered in frost than most on the route - so with that clear I braved it.
Everywhere that is normally ok, was in heavy frost and certain areas that normally suffer from the frost were clear - was very strange.
One of my slowest ever commutes - I just cant relax.
Full winter kit today, prob overdid it slightly as did end up a bit warm. But that balance with the first 5-10 minutes.
