Although you could strap a flashlight to your handlebars to illuminate your path home at night—people do it!—a good set of bike-specific lights will help you see and be seen in all riding conditions.
After testing more than 115 lights over the past 10 years, we think the Planet Bike Beamer 700 headlight’s wide-angle beam, generous run time, and fuss-free mount help it outshine the competition.
We also recommend Cygolite’s bright Hotrod 120 taillight, which will help you stand out in traffic, both at night and during the day.
