    Anyone tried magic shine lights?

    I started my 17-20 mph each way commute in august. On average I'd say I manage 3 days per week but this is mostly due to time.

    Winter riding - any tips?

    Rode my brompton across Zurich pretty much every day last winter. Only fell of once or twice And each time that was the tram tracks. If it got too bad I did walk but never had to walk more than 200 m. I think the type of road plays a big factor.

    Anyone tried magic shine lights?

    Thanks for this overlander. I'm also looking to maybe do a few night rides on the MTB I just built so this would serve a dual purpose.

    Anyone tried magic shine lights?

    Looks excellent but isn't this more of a light for being seen with than for seeing with? As Patrick mentions I want something that is going to help on unlit roads with oncoming traffic and in fog to spot other cyclist with no lights at all. They were all out this morning.

    Anyone tried magic shine lights?

    Pretty sweet. Doing at least 3 days a week and will try to do the full five as often as possible. Bike is great with the only issue Is the chain needs oiling after a rainy ride. Hopefully hit the 1000 mile mark next week.
