Tim Cockerill Posted August 17, 2011 Share Hi all my fellow MTB. Do you Night Ride? If you answered "Yes" or "No" I'd like to hear your thoughts. It doesn't matter if you've been riding for 6 months or 6 years I'd like to hear why you participate, or don't. I am a Btech Industrial Design student at CPUT, and I am investigating what factors prevent people from participating in Off-Road Night Cycling. My preliminary research has identified a couple areas of concern, which I'm hoping you'll confirm. If you've got 5 - 10 minutes please complete the attached Survey and mail it to me at Email me Please rename the file (Your Name)- Night Riding Survey 1.5.doc Thank you for your assistance.

Tankman Posted August 17, 2011 Share Hell yea! Search the threads and join a group! Why do night riding? Because someone stole the daylight and I had other stuff to do during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted August 17, 2011 Share Fast reply would be the "lack of funds" in my bank account to buy a proper MagicLight (mtb light) for night riding http://www.magiclight.co.za/products/bike-lights/mj816 They are round about R1400 - R1600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using it for a few months now and no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelass Posted August 17, 2011 Share night ride at least 3 times a week,weather depending,I have found it improved my riding skills as it makes you focus on where your light and ride there.At first it may seem as though you have less balance,but its waaay more exciting!

nickelass Posted August 17, 2011 Share mainly ride on my own,thou there is a couple of us sometimes,no set plan,we tend to trail ride more and can be very slow,depending on the mood,I use night riding more as a way to unwind from a working day.

Grebel Posted August 17, 2011 Share I have been toying with the idea of night riding for a while now. Just need to find time to get away from the daily routine stuff. I like the very slow trail riding part. Sounds like my type of ride...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Cockerill Posted August 18, 2011 Share does riding at 3h30am count as 'night riding' ?? Oh yes! If there's no sun in the sky and you're forced to use an alternative light source you're night riding! If you haven't done so already, please fill in my Survey. For all who have done so, a BIG THANK YOU! Please try get some of your mates to do the same. Thanks Guys. Your input is invaluable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat-i Posted August 24, 2011 Share Fast reply would be the "lack of funds" in my bank account to buy a proper MagicLight (mtb light) for night riding http://www.magiclight.co.za/products/bike-lights/mj816 They are round about R1400 - R1600 my first few nightrides was with a petzl headlamp, and then for 2 years a cateye form the bikeshop (around 400) was my main lamp - now that i have a proper one, traffic kind of cut me off.
