Where I live, it'll soon be dark by 16:30. I have a good headlight and an ok taillight on my winter ride but I'd like to add some fun, funky lights for added visibility and lolz. There's a lot of crap out there especially on Amazon, what have you all had good experiences with?

I have to bring attention to the clothing he's wearing. Yes the lights negate it in this instance, but people should stop wearing dark like that when biking at night. Or at least have a bike cost or vest or something flashier.

It's not like people wouldn't notice.

Hopefully not too late to be noticed being all dark like that though. Seeing a biker in dark clothes like that while driving isn't the same as walking down the street and seeing the same thing. defensive riding is best

Except for the fact most vehicles come from directly in front or behind in which case these lights are practically useless.
