Joel: There are many lights out there that will make you more visible to vehicles, but I wouldn’t bet my life on any of them. I believe there’s more safety in being aware of what’s happening around you at all times, wearing brightly colored/contrasting clothing, and assuming that motorists don’t see you.
If you *do* use lights bright enough to be seen in daylight, I beg you to think twice about using them at night. The new super-bright taillights, when used at night, make it impossible for anyone to ride behind you safely. All the person behind you can see is a bright red glow. I’ve ranted about this before, so I won’t go on much longer here. But … please be considerate of anyone behind you—and people coming at you on the bike trail and end up getting blasted by your daylight-bright headlight. I recommend a taillight like the PDW “Daybot,” which offers a bright daytime option and a less bright (but still bright enough) nighttime setting that also provides longer runtimes (because no taillight will work with dead batteries). --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com Insta: @CampyOnlyGuy YouTube: YouTube.com/CampyOnlyGuy > On Aug 20, 2020, at 2:55 PM, Joel <jrster...@gmail.com> wrote: > > 2 close calls in one day.
