Please check out the new post.<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>With all the bike lights available, how do you pick the best bike lights? Here&#8217;s a complete guide to getting the best bike lights at the best price. After all, the most important thing for cyclists is to make sure we can be <strong>seen by motorists<\/strong>. The second most important thing is to make sure <strong>we can see where we are going<\/strong>. Both of these are vital for safety, which is why I so strongly believe that <strong>bike lights are the best thing cyclists can spend your money on <\/strong>(apart from bikes, of course!). The question is, how to choose the best bike lights for your money, with such a vast choice available?<\/p>\n<h3>Categories of Bike Lights<\/h3>\n<p>Bike lights are designed for <strong>two main categories<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>bike lights to use on <strong>mountain bikes on mountains and trails<\/strong>; and<\/li>\n<li>bike lights to use on the <strong>road<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These two kinds of bike lights are very different. So start by deciding <strong>which type of bike light you need<\/strong>. For most commuters, you want lights designed for use on roads, not mountains. Road\/commuter bike lights are cheaper than mountain bike lights.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24229\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24229\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/bGzuPf\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"24229\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/bike-lights-complete-guide\/bike-lights-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Bike-lights.jpg?fit=750%2C418&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,418\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Bike lights\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Great bike lights will light up the night for you!

Just be sure to get the best bike lights for you<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Important Points to Consider when Choosing the Best Bike Lights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Power<\/strong> (measured in lumens): the <strong>Lumen<\/strong> is the unit for measuring brightness, now that Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are standard. But while 3,000 lumens is ultra-bright when focused in a laser-like beam, it becomes less bright once it is diffused into a wide angle beam. So you have to factor in <strong>breadth of beam<\/strong> as well as power when assessing the brightness of bike lights.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Breadth of beam:<\/strong> many bike lights are focused to a laser sharp spot so that motorists can see your flashing white light coming for a mile or two. That&#8217;s great. <strong>But<\/strong> you also need to be able to see your way clearly. So I use two lights &#8211; a smaller, sharply-focused, flashing bright light so that others can see me; and a more broadly-focused, bigger light that enables me to see the road ahead<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery life<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>How easy it is to <strong>recharge the batteries:<\/strong> it is best to aim for USB rechargeable batteries<\/li>\n<li><strong>Side visibility:<\/strong> bike lights that can be seen from the side as well are preferable<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight:<\/strong> obviously, on a bike, lightweight is good<\/li>\n<li>How easy they are to <strong>take on and take off<\/strong> your bike &#8211; always check this. This should <strong>not<\/strong> require a screwdriver!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #444444; line-height: 24px;\">Front Lights for Road\/Commuter Bikes<\/span><\/h3>\n<h4>The Lumintrail Headlight<\/h4>\n<p>This is the best headlight I have ever had.

For the price, it&#8217;s a good light.<\/p>\n<h3>Rear Lights for Road\/Commuter Bikes<\/h3>\n<h4>Serfas Thunderbolt (UTL-6) bike taillight<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14569\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14569\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B009WGFYRC\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B009WGFYRC&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=avejoecyc0e-20&amp;linkId=RC5CB2WLOQCTX34Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14569\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/bike-lights-complete-guide\/serfas-thunderbolt-21-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/serfas-thunderbolt-212.jpg?fit=300%2C380&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"300,380\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The Serfas Thunderbolt Bike Taillight attaches easily to your seatpost\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The Serfas Thunderbolt Bike Taillight attaches easily to your seatpost&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/serfas-thunderbolt-212.jpg?fit=236%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/serfas-thunderbolt-212.jpg?fit=300%2C380&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-14569 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/serfas-thunderbolt-212.jpg\" alt=\"Serfas Thunderbolt rear light is one of my favorite bike lights!\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14569\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14569\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/bike-lights-complete-guide\/serfas-thunderbolt-21-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/serfas-thunderbolt-212.jpg?fit=300%2C380&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"300,380\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The Serfas Thunderbolt Bike Taillight attaches easily to your seatpost\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The Serfas Thunderbolt Bike Taillight attaches easily to your seatpost&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/serfas-thunderbolt-212.jpg?fit=236%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/serfas-thunderbolt-212.jpg?fit=300%2C380&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-14569 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/serfas-thunderbolt-212.jpg?resize=300%2C380&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Serfas Thunderbolt rear light is one of my favorite bike lights!\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/serfas-thunderbolt-212.jpg?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/serfas-thunderbolt-212.jpg?resize=236%2C300&amp;ssl=1 236w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/serfas-thunderbolt-212.jpg?resize=250%2C316&amp;ssl=1 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2CKiiBM\">Serfas Thunderbolt<\/a> rear light is one of my favorite bike lights!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A star is born!

reviewed here<\/a>. They enable you to be seen from miles around. They are especially good for side visibility, which is often neglected, but they are also clearly visible from behind and in front. And they&#8217;re cheap to run too, not to mention cheerful!<\/p>\n<p>A set of MonkeyLectric Lights consists of <strong>32 tiny, full-colour LED lights <\/strong>(or 10 if you buy the cheaper version), mounted on a flat, boot-shaped piece of plastic which fits perfectly and easily onto the spokes of a bike wheel. I love mine, and wouldn&#8217;t do a winter night time ride without them. I have now bought a set for all three of my bikes, as the price <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0081UDLDY\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0081UDLDY&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=avejoecyc0e-20&amp;linkId=N7MHYRFRBLDZWHVQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">has gone down to around $60 per set<\/a>. I often get people coming up to me to compliment me on the lights, and ask me where I got them. And the other day I cycled past a small boy who stared at me with open-mouthed admiration. As I went past I heard him yelling, &#8220;Wow, cool!!!&#8221; Not a bad thing to hear from a kid when you&#8217;re over 40 (trust me, I never hear it when I&#8217;m not on a bike).<\/p>\n<p>Best of all: they are incredibly robust and just last forever &#8211; years and years, through rain, snow, and sleet!<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"cards-58-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_design = \"enhanced_links\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B0081UDLDY\";\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"65946cc2af7230fa5302d9e6f236442e\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><br \/>\nWe hope this guide is useful for you, and will help you find the best bike lights for you!<\/p>\n<h3>Below are Links to all of our Most Popular Posts on Bike Lights!<\/h3>\n<p><strong>How to use this slideshow<\/strong>: Clicking on a picture will take you to that post.
