Question for riders in rainy weathers

[Biciclista]

i ride in dark and rain, but i put a generator hub on my bike so I have only a very light lamp to guide me. No heavy batteries or battery packs and no running out of battery power!

Great info on lights. I used to ride before dawn, knowing that it would only get lighter. My light was a big heavy thing with a huge battery. Now I don't ride before dawn anymore but I would like to have a light for winter riding anyways. I've seen some really small Nite Riders that look interesting. Has anyone tried them?

Mimi, I like generator lights, but when you stop for traffic or whatever, doesn't the generator light fade since you are int moving?

Thanks for all the recommendations. I think I will give the Blackburn flea 2 a try. I wish the Knog had worked out, but the batteries drain too fast and they are expensive.

I have a Niterider MiNewt 250 rechargeable light. Has a high, medium, low and strobe setting. You don't have to recharge on your computer. I have a cord that plugs into the electrical socket and the other end goes into the light. My DH has one also and commutes at night and in the rain (Oregon=rain). I use the strobe mode always when I ride during the day-even on sunny days, so drivers will see me and I rarely have to recharge it.
