I’ve had a Niterider Pro 700 Race in twice a week commuter + grocery duty use in a dark Seattle winter for about three months now. We’ve had some cold nights and pitch black mornings, some rain commutes, and I’ve had to rush downhill in traffic in these conditions trying to make a ferry so that I can fight up and down hills to get home. There’s a lot to worry about in these situations, but nightfall and seeing where I’m going is just not an issue anymore. The result of this light is that you stop thinking about how dark it is, or if your lamp just moved after that last bump, or if you’re going to run low on power…or even that you’re using a light at all and you just ride.
Isn’t that really the true sign of success here?
It’s not some “blinky” joke, but a real piece of hardware. Kudos to Niterider on helping make a cycling lifestyle a reality for those of us with short winter days.
