Last night I cleaned my bike, and so took off the light and the cyclocomputer. I forgot to put them
back on, such that I rode into work without a headlight. Not wanting to ride home entirely with only
my rear blinkies, I put a flashlight on my helmet with strapping tape, which I thought was pretty
resourceful of me.
I was wondering how people do it who regularly only use helmet lights. It seemed like I only
illuminated the road when I was in the drops. When I was on the tops or the hoods, I felt like I was
visible to cars, but the light wasn't aimed at the road at all. I can imagine having a helmet light
as a supplement, but as one's only front headlight, it seemed inadequate.
