stine Posted February 18, 2009 Share I'm sure this topic has been covered before but can anyone suggest a good, bright rear bike light? The ones in my lbs don't seem to impressive, and with all the recent ct road deaths I would like to be as visable as possible! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted February 18, 2009 Share The best light is the Cateye TL-D1000. This light was specifically developed for daytime use which means it will be super bright at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
