Im quite looking forward to cycle home I normally take a bit of a longer route 4 1/2 miles as it doesnt mean negotiating the cycle paths and the roads are quieter. I really like pounding round the lanes in the dark, feels like your going much faster than you are.

Had to cycle home last night in the pitch black with only a small torch (the batteries were almost flat). Cycling down unlight cycle lanes in woodland is quite interesting in the dark... nearly rode into a gate and some bollards. Trip to Halfords for some lights I think today

Some of the new led type lights are really good these days, especially if you're cycling in complete darkness.
Better than the ever ready lights I had to use when I was a boy. Mind you some of these lights cost a seroius amount of wonga ![]()

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/c/Cycle/7/Lights_-_Front/ They're doing IIRC 20% off lights under £100 at the mo. I've got the Cateye EL610 Single Shot Plus ( 2 x 1watt LED ) its pretty good its been good enough to see by on the dark unlit country lanes I ride on. HTH

I don't really want to go to Halfords but it's the only choice I have since I'm popping out at lunch to get them...
Might buy some from Halfords then drop some hints for christmas presents for some really good ones... Cheers |

This is another option
http://www.thephotonshop.co.uk/page23.htm Alot of people on the cycle forums are using these, you can get a bike mount for it and its supposed to give off a good light and a good beam...

This is my good bike
![]() Its tucked up indoors at the moment and I'm using my winter hack to get to work a 20 Year Old Raleigh Hybrid with mudguards, I havent got a pic of it, but think retro paint scheme and 501 tubing and you'll get the idea. Rides quite nice though.
