Headlights

[Geonz]

I am rather fond of getting bright small flashlights and rubber banding them to my handlebars. (I also have a generator dynamo hub on the Xtracycle.)

http://www.batteryjunction.com/ is one of my favorite sources for satisfying my flashlight fetish. They also have SpokeLits ( http://www.batteryjunction.com/skl-03.html ) -- adn in the past three years, the five or six times somebody has either not seen me or just decided to butt in front of me in a 4-way stop situation anyway have *all* been when I didn't have my SpokeLit rolling. They can be a little finicky so that after a while,when I push on 'em they don't stay on -- so I take the batteries out and bend the metal back to where it should be and they're fine... and the price is purty cheap.

I also have a headlamp on my helmet (like camping ones) that's really nice for a directed beam ... and for making a moving light that attracts more attention.
