Bike lights

[chrismpw]

I give up.

I want a simple rear bike light that goes on or off at the touch of a button, like the old days. Why must everything have faff designed in. Fewmin!

Every one I can find has numerous useless modes that try to make you look like some kind of Cylon/knightrider lovechild. Nor do i want to give drivers behind me some kind of fit with the strobing. Stuff that, I have no intention of wasting my time in the pouring rain clicking a fiddly tiny button x times to switch the bugger off.

Can anyone if you fine toffees recommend a brand/model?

There is a bloke that does my head in every morning around Sefton Park. He has a bright white light on his bike pointing backwards, so you don’t know if he is coming or going. It should be red at the back

If it's every morning then surely you know by now!

Just go stealth mode Chris, every day you don't get clobbered is a bonus day then.

Torches are just as bad. I want a torch to go on or off. I don't need a freaking strobe or sos as first choice when I'm trying to find a bolt under my lathe, I'm not on the frigging Matterhorn.

What's the matter hun?

Last week or so I read a historic newspaper cutting, from the early 1900s, here in North Wilts listing the names of several people the plod had fined for nor having a rear bile like. On the same day I read that Manchester plod were pulling cyclists over, "educating them" and then handing out free bike lights.

No wonder they have to raise funds catching motorists for every trivial infraction.

I've got a Blackburn Dayblazer 800 for the front and a Blackburn Dayblazer 65 for the rear. I've had them a few years now and they're ample for urban area cycling. I do run them on one of the flashing settings, but they mean I'm visible and also saves battery. Which lasts a good while after a charge.

Some days it seems that everything I come across that's new is not as good as what I'm used to. The world's gone potty. I don't like the clouds we had today either.
