While I have the magnetic Reelights I posted on before, I have also supplemented these with some regular LEDs lights as insurance.

Lovely bicycle has a great post on how to retrofit LED lights to a city bike.

I’ve also gone for Cateye EL530 upfront, but mounted high up on the front bar, since the reelights are already at wheel level. My main problem is actually side visability, as i have driver coming at me from the left on junctions and roundabouts who attack me side on.

I currently have this fantastically bright and cheap flashing red spotlight on the seat stem,

but having seen the shots in the post above, I’ll be adding two vertically mounted Cateye LD-610 lights, which provide drivers with a sense of the bikes width.

What do you use to light up your life ?
