Question for the Cyclists...

I'm trying to get out and ride my bike more and unfortunately the best time to do that is in the evening once my hubby gets home from work. I have a red blinking light for the back, but no light for the front. So, any recommendations for front lights for the bike? I have NO IDEA about headlights for bikes, so any info would be great!

Thanks!

Well there are a lot of them out there, and you can spend a lot of money on the high intensity rechargable lights.
Here are some examples that show you what kind of display/brightness you can get from the different lights.
I have the blaze 1 watt light it has both constant on and strobing features.

If money wasn't an issue I'd of gone with one of the HID lights, but they are way expensive.

Thanks for the links Scott! Wow it's amazing the difference in visibility with the lights. I would totally go with the HID if I could as well. WOW. I did see a couple I could live with though so I guess I'll just wait to win the lottery for the HID. I couldn't get the second link to load, but I'll try again in a bit.

Thanks again!!

The link was bad.  I fixed it.
