I highly recommend my Jet Lites
Not commuting with them yet, the darkness has come. But will. I've ridden mountain bikes with them for 4 years so far. And I've used them to ride road before work in the morning. I have about 1k commuting miles now, and when the dark comes I'll use them -- still new to commuting. Bright as hell. Look up the reviews of these. Jet are good. Customer service has been phenomenal with questions & one fix, I upgraded mine to their new switch/casings since I bought them so long ago. Awesome price to upgrade the ones I had. I can't say enough, and I'm around other mtber's who complain about their non-Jets.
On the road you can get away with bar lights only. I wouldn't have helmet only on the road -- which will work when mountain biking. Going to fast, looking a head. But helmet only is an option -- one I wouldn't do on the road. Both are even better. On my commuter and road bikes I've had to put my computer on the stem because the lights sit across the middle of it, but no other inconvenience.
Oh...and Jet Lites are BRIGHT!
I'm typing fast and grammar/spelling be damned. I got beers and bikes to mess with in the garage.
Ask away if you have any questions I didn't answer. Oh...on the road FOR SURE you'll want a rear light, too.
OK, Nev
