Bike lights are a requirement for riding at night in Victoria. And of course they re extremely useful if you are commuter in the city. Making yourself easier to see is good for other cyclists, pedestrians and motorists.
When it comes to commuting lights there are many different options thanks to the introduction of the LED as a light source.
You will now have options from 400 lumen up to 1200 lumen in output from a headlight. These numbers can be confusing, so we like to think of them in terms of how far ahead you can see. With a 400 lumen headlight you will be able to see potholes in the road, and you will e visible to others. With a 1200 lumen headlight you will be able to clearly see potholes, as well as possums in the trees! We consider anything above 400 lumens to be more than sufficient for urban cycling.
Are bike mirrors worth it?
Yes! Many cyclists find mirrors to be useful for safety reasons while riding a bike. A bike mirror can provide a clear view of what is behind the cyclist, reducing the need to turn around and take one’s eyes off the road. This can be especially helpful when riding in traffic or on narrow roads. While there is some debate about the effectiveness of bike mirrors, many cyclists find them to be a valuable addition to their safety gear. Ultimately, the decision to use a bike mirror is a personal one and depends on individual preference and riding experience.
