Autumn is here, and depending on where you live in the world the days are getting shorter and the mornings and evenings are darker. For me, at home in the UK, I now leave the house in the dark to make my early Saturday morning chaingang.
Winter riding means lights; in fact, all year-round riding means bike lights, but it’s the wintertime when cyclists reach for them out of necessity. The best bike lightswill help you see in the dark, and they will also keep you more visible to other road users and motorists and ultimately safer.
Sometimes, putting a set of lights onto your bike isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing option, though it depends on the bike and the lights. But in the context of looking at a nice, sleek road or gravel bike, strapping lights on, especially when they are bigger and bulkier, doesn’t look quite as good.
