My go to setup which never let me down even in pitch darkness. 1. 2000 lumen handlebar light with a good battery 2. 400 lumen light mounted to helmet 3. Garmin Radar mounted to seatpost 4. Bontrager flashing rear light Besides having a redundant light both sides for flat battery situations they all played very well together. Bright light on handlebar with a wide beam, really took all the effort out of seeing (please consider runners and pedestrians with bright lights as you will blind them) also found the bright light was a good security feature as you could see far more than a perp trying to see what he’s up against (my theory). The helmet light allows you to see where you looking, so looking at your Garmin, checking what gear you in, looking next to the road and most importantly, allowing you to see what you doing when performing road side repair (limping to a well lit petrol station is always a winner as well). Garmin radar probably the best device I’ve ever purchased, unbelievably accurate and perfectly integrated into head unit. Plan smart routes, keep them lower risk especially if riding alone. Get everything 100% ready the night before and enjoy!!
