I have a friend who is doing the Dunwich ride at the weekend (actually something I am keen to do too....).
He does not cycle much and does not have a need for a powerful set of lights which, in my view, would be advisable, particularly in view of the number of Ford Escorts, Vans etc on the roads in Essex after closing time and the poor state of the roads.
He has asked me for a solution to what he calls his "occasional cyclist and tightwad criteria". I mentioned that there are relatively cheap versions of lights in motion or whatever they are called and I do recall someone posting on this but even then I think the cheap Chinese alternative was probably still around £50 a set, which hardly answers the tightwad criterion. Can someone please remind me as to where the posts are.
Better still, if I ask extremely nicely, might someone be able to lend me their set/front light, obviously on the basis that I give a full indemnity against damage, loss etc?
Alternatively, any (helpful!) suggestions would be welcome.
Many thanks.
