Re: Head- & tail lights.

You might want to check local codes. Here in Lincoln, NE, the law states that you must have both a head and tail light if you are going to ride at night. Acceptable brightness is also defined.

The law is rarely enforced (duh), and sometimes I swear that there are more night riders without than with, but my lights are shining brightly.

Reflection and bright colors don't do much if there is no ambient light to reflect, you know.
