Good point: I always have backup front and rear, a cheap LED 3 AAA lamp in front (eg, Planet Bike Blaze) and two LEDs in the rear one run steady, the other in blinkie. I generally turn my battery headlight on only at intersections because the standlights on the Cyo or Edeluxe dim quickly. I turn it off after the intersection.
The QR front cheapie also serves as a flashlight if (God forbid) I have to stop and change a tube mid-ride. Next question: what do y'all use for reflection? Me, generally an ankle strap reflector and a rear triangle like those Riv sells. I've used a Sam Browne but I find it annoying to put on. REI has a big reflective night cycling vest with built in blinkies; you only have to add the WHOOO-whooo-WHOOO-whooo siren and the little helmet propeller. http://www.rei.com/product/842481/amphipod-xinglet-flash-led-reflective-vest And these: http://www.amazon.com/Tacx-Dropbar-HeadLight-Taillight-Directional/dp/B009HSV1RM Apparently you can use them as turn signals too. Curious -- an idle curiosity: who has the most lights, blinkies and reflective gear on himerher and bike, of this list? Me, I find things like that annoying overkill, but then I've not used them -- has anyone?
