Nice query! I began biking a couple of 12 months in the past and shortly realized that there are just a few “non-obvious” necessities that make an enormous distinction. Some of the vital? Bike lights.
I didn’t assume I wanted them at first. I normally journey throughout the day, so lights felt pointless. However after a few cloudy afternoons and one journey that ran later than anticipated, I understood why skilled riders all the time point out them.
Seems, being seen is simply as vital as seeing the street.
Now I all the time journey with:
A shiny entrance gentle (no less than 400 lumens)
A flashing rear gentle for visibility—even throughout daylight
Each are USB rechargeable so I don’t cope with batteries
If I needed to begin over, I’d nonetheless put lights close to the highest of my checklist—proper after helmet and gloves.
