Interesting light setup (especially your rear lights), but -- don't
your legs interfere with your headlamps?

I've got a 10W lamp on my front and a blinky red light for the rear.
Looks like your bike could be used to light a baseball field in a
pinch!

(I wonder if this is Wattage Envy...?)

I did a spot of night riding last night. I had:-

Front
2x Cateye HL-EL300
1 x helmet-mounted white LED
1 x flashing white LED

Rear
1 x rack mounted *bright* red LED
1 x ordinary British Standard red rear light
1 x red flashing LED

On self and/or bike

Reflectors on wheels (spokes) & pedals
reflective gilet
reflective arm bands
reflective bands round ankles

A local spotty youth, as a cycled by, cried out "F**king h*ll! You're not going
to get run over looking like that!" Which was the general point of the exercise
;-)

Traffic did give me a wide berth...

You're likely better seen at night. Your only concern is seeing what is
coming at you. Good idea about the helmet mounted light. I'm still
planning to get one so I'll feel confident about riding at night.

I had planned to learn to rollerblade this winter (well, that is. I can do
it some--just not fluidly), before the shoulder surgery took precedence. I
had thought I needed a helmet mounted light and was doing some research on
what to get. I was looking at the Petzl brand, mainly. But, at the time, the
one I wanted was on backorder so I didn't ever pull the trigger and get it.
Have you looked into selecting a light, yet? Buy something and give me some
feedback.
