Looks like good weather for a ride tomorrow night. Since Wednesday is Christmas Eve and many will be busy, who's interested in making the group ride tomorrow?

what kinda lights do you guys use, anyway, when you ride at night? handlebar mounted, helmet or a mix? just curious.

If you have a bright enough light, you only need a helmet mounted light. Both is better. If I had to only choose one, it would be the helmet mounted light.

On my old halogen light set, it uses a 10W bar light and a 15W helmet light, but both of them together are not as bright as my one 3 LED helmet light. If you have the $$, just go with the LED system. My new light was $245 plus $85 for the battery and charger. It will run a little over 4 hrs on a charge.
