It gets dark earlier in the winter time, which means that it is that much more important to have lights on your bike, both for your safety, and so you don’t get a ticket. Trek light sets are an easy solution; they come with a bright headlight and a highly visible tail light to help you stay seen while you’re riding in lower light conditions. Trek light sets are available at Bontrager, ranging from $24.99 to $39.99.[...]

Night time bike rides can be fun, and for some, that may be the only time you can ride. That’s why lights are a very important component for your bike. Any old light will get you by without getting a ticket, but not all of them are bright enough to get the job done. And batteries can be expensive. With the Blackburn Flea Head and Tail Lights 2010, however, that is not the case. The head light features a standard mode, and an even brighter overdrive mode, and a flash mode. The run time is three hours with standard use, and five hours with flash mode. The headlight comes in pink, green, red, white, blue, and black, with a 40 lumen output. The tail light has six hours of standard run time, and ten hours for flash mode. Both lights feature a VELCRO strap to attach to your bike. The coolest thing about the Blackburn Flea Head and Tail Lights 2010 is that they can be recharged, and in more ways than one; you can actually charge the Blackburn Flea Head and Tail Lights 2010 in the same way that you charge your iPod, on your computer! The other creative method is the solar charger. The Blackburn Flea Head and Tail Lights 2010 are definitely a good choice for your future night rides. Check out Blackburn Design for more info.
