Night riding is my jam and Tom and the Outbound crew have seriously upped the quality of the night riding game. Yes, I'm shilling for my friend, but their product is worth it. Gone are the days of mega clunky batteries and cables that somehow always found their way to my mouth (why!).
The only thing I disagree with in this article is the "If I could only use one light" question—I'd go helmet, all the way. The trails here are way too tight and techy to rely on the bar light, even if the beam pattern is wide. I've had plenty of rides where I was lazy earlier in the day and didn't recharge both lights and one has died on me. Every time it's the helmet light I'm slightly more petrified and ride at a snail's pace. I need the helmet more than the bars, no question.
