You have bicycle lights, right? One for the front and one for the rear. But the amount of lights you own should be proportional to the number of bikes you have, +4. Now is the perfect time to shop around, and here are some reasons to buy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How many lights are you allowed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So, you have the previously-mentioned front and rear lights. But some people like to deck themselves out in frame lights, wheel lights, and fork lights \u2013 looking like the spirit of Bicycle-Christmas. The advantage \u2013 if your headlight fails, other road users will still see your flashing wheels.<\/p>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n

Beware that some countries regulate how many lights you\u2019re allowed on your vehicle and for good reasons. German lawmakers quite sensibly point out that a strobe-disco-on-wheels may be a distraction to motorists \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t stop you from buying a spare set for your frame. You don\u2019t have to turn them on until you need them \u2013 handy for longer-than-expected rides.<\/p>\n

Growing attachments<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I love my Knogs (other great brands available). I bought the classic stretch-and-clip models. They\u2019re still going strong, attached to the handlebar and seat post. But my wife ruined hers taking them off and putting them back on the bike with a little too much enthusiasm \u2013 so she went back to her trusty CATEYEs.<\/p>\n
