Nite Ride
recently picked up a magic shine 900 lumen light for the bike to try night riding with my brother and my buddy who go almost every week. Was possibly going tuesday but the 2 feet of snow were getting will probably put an end to that plan. Any one else do night rides?
Re: Nite Ride
I have the Turbo Cat lighting rig as pictured and had designed a helmet light using a 7v Makita battery stowed in the Camelbak. For a while, I was riding the Austin Barton Creek Greenbelt at night. But one night, I was at, what I call the Moon Rocks near a cliff and all of a sudden, I heard something or someone break out into a full run at me. As I was already on the move, I quickly laid down on the pedals and got out of there. I decided at that point I didn't need to be riding at night alone. At the point that I started fearing for safety, I shyed away from the deep woods night rides. But I believe there is safety in numbers. Also, the battery on the Turbo Cat weighs almost as much as the bike. But the beams are great.. Riding the woods at night is awesome..

Re: Nite Ride
I have the magicshine combo and i love it. The 900 on the helmet and the 1400 on bars. Its as much light as i could possibly want on any road and more than enough for almost all trails around here. Honestly it IS enough, but lights are addictive and the more i have the more i want. When i first got the 900 it seemed like enough and now i just want more and more
These are great value for the money, i lent them to a worker at my lbs who sells niterider and he was blown away
