That flashing light tip is huge. Flashing nights at light is so disorienting that's it's a home defense tactic lol. Great video.

I'm here after riding to the store and back in the dark and discovering that, especially when mixing in trails along the way, I discovered I could use some lighting tips. Mine is mounted on the bike. Super bright and effective. Great tail and brake lights. But. I definitely wished I had a helmet lights. Some of my trails are squirrely. Like one has a zig zaggy bridge. I wished I'd had a light on my helmet to cover direct forward. I had to slow down compared to going through that area, which I know well, because I was out riding my light since it was zig zagging with the turns. Having that AND the helmet light so I can illuminate straight ahead too in that spot would have been nice.

Awesome safety tips and advice. Really like the moving lights on Krystals legs and the helmet light.

Great safety tips. Lights, is a must in dusk...to dark. Night "goggles"...sunglasses. Right reflective clothing. You're doing all you need. Good information. ride with a friends and never alone! ;) Safety first. I think you all got that. ;)

It’s a little nerdy, but having a bell or loud hubs with the mix use trails around here help me not run into pedestrians, hikers, kids, and the occasional pet being walked in a pet stroller. Haha! Great video homie!

I do not carry a siren or mace. I carry a 9mm Sig with 2 extra mags cocked and locked.
