rear lighting~!
« on: September 09, 2024, 06:53:28 PM »


I'm hopping off frequently to take photos at night.
I park on shoulders and usually stand off of the road surface.
I think most riders focus on their head lights - I spend time and $ on my rear lighting.
If I rode wot, as most seem to like to - I'd be more concerned about front lighting.

I hear you! I'm more about rear lighting than front lighting, too. That's why I've had a brake free light on my helmet for a number of years, now. Cars noticeably back off from me with it on..wouldn't leave home without it.

I also put a flashing rear brake light LED bar on all my bikes.

It is not way up high but traffic from behind still see it and slow down and stop long before getting to me.

The turn indicators are the white dots areas?
