    You should do a search of the forums for headlight, lights, lighting, etc. I found a lot of info from that when I was looking for a headlight for my bike.

    Knog bullfrogs?

    I'd love something with a rechargable module but the one I once bought lasted maybe a season of recharging before the battery was dead.

    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    Thanks everyone! We are going to some LBS this afternoon and check out some lights. Nice day for it too since we have a 40% chance of rain today, but 10% on Sat. and Sun. We switched our bike ride until tomorrow.

    I've tried the Bullfrog... It's more along the category of a "be seen" light than a "see where you're going" light. Now, you can ride home with the derned thing, but you need to go pretty slow so as not to out-ride the distance the light lets you see in front of you.

    Those little blinky "frog" lights are pretty good... I use one on blinky mode as sort of a daylight running light, and as an added bit of visibility after dark. I've ridden home with one of those as the front headlight, too... and recommend a much bigger light for safety & peace of mind. That was another reason for strapping two of those Cateye 320s up front... if one goes out, you've still got a reliable light to get home by.
