Now the nights are drawing in and the clocks going back.. just wondered on the types of rear lights we are favouring.
Installed my trusty old battery powered cat eye today, as we were going to use a few roads between the trails and twas a bit gloomy out there, but seeing as I spent a few thousand wonga on a bike, maybe it's time to up the anti on the rear end??
What you reckon guys?

On the road I always like to use a Garmin Varia Radar Rear Light - makes me feel a lot safer. It basically flashes at motorists behind you, plus when paired with a Garmin display it shows how many cars are behind you and how far away. (There is a newer version which looks quite different).

Then if it is night I have a second back up light just in case - an Exposure TraceR. It is tiny, lightweight, and lasts for hours.

Currently using a Lezyne Zecto 250lm. It's fine...but looking for something brighter. Ive been riding super early mornings in the dark. Though this is bright, always looking for latest and greatest functional.
