Just got 2 flashlight adaptors for the old bicycle. Being an openly declared flashaholic, I just had to go out (well, I do need to loose some pounds as well) and try it out... ALL out. I had a TK15 on the front, a PD30 with red lens in strobe on the back (aimed at the ground 5 feet behind) and my HP10 on my head. I didn't even need to put everything on turbo to see all the details.
I didn't come across too many cars or people, but I sure did get noticed! I got passed by only 2 cars, on the darkest unlit strip in the area. They gave me more space than they normally would in the daytime, but much to my surprise, they actually lowered their high beams, something no one ever does when I actually drive through there - and they where coming from behind!!! I sure won't check the time I'm coming back next time I go watch the sunset at the park...
Has anyone else had positive experiences using bright lights on their bike???
