What are some good bike lights for my bike? a front light, specifically. I'm looking for something preferably kind of aero, and easy to pop on and off (people love stealing shit like that around here). Any suggestions?

The Light & Motion Urban series has some really good front lights. Not really aero though.

Are you cosplaying as lance armstrong? The aero on your fucking lights? You're obviously carrying around a lock and a bunch of other non-aero shit, aren't you? You're on gatorskins or something, and not turbo cottons, yes?
Just get something that doesn't blind people, is waterproof, and puts enough light on the road. Busch & Mueller battery powered Ixon IQ Premium for instance. It is removable.

I've decided to invest a couple of bucks and go for Fortified bike lights (https://fortifiedbike.com/products/aviator-afterburner-combo-pack?variant=3851462853).
Combo Pack is 69$ and plenty bright. Battery is USB chargable and good for 4-6 hours. Since I got them about 1 year ago my lights haven't been stolen. Before that I'd need a new light every couple of weeks.
light and urban 500 lumen is pretty based so far

Light & Motion Urban 350 with adapter to fit a GoPro mount. You're welcome.

are you using the blendr system?
I guess this is a good place to ask. I'm looking for bike lights for my upcoming 3-4 month tour. Lots of the modern lights I've seen all have usb chargeable batteries that last 4 hours on high. I was wondering how practical this would be for a tour, or if finding a light that takes AA or similar batteries instead. I don't planning on riding at night much, but I will use them in the fog and for emergencies or when I unexpectedley have to ride at night. Will the 4 hours be enough? I am bringing a solar powered charger with me, also for emergencies

Hub dynamo.
I don't cycle long distances, but I use 2 sets of lights. One high powered set, and a set of these rubber clippy ones as a backup. So when the high powers die, I have some dim lights to be seen.

I was looking to buy a tiny tail light for my road bike. Then I saw one of these lying in the road blinking at me yesterday.

No, K-edge (different from photo but same idea)

Also, don't get scammed. Lots of bikeshops and retailers try to sell these for over £5. Even seen them for $19.95 in some US hipster shop website. They are worth exactly 0.50 and no more! Buy them on AliExpress if you have to.

I use these on my delivery bike, they're pretty bright and convenient for the price and the batteries last long. If you're biking around the city they're a good option, but if you're actually in the dark they're not much help.
anyone have comments on the blendr duo? thinking about getting one for a cell phone on top and a l&m urban on bottom. just wondering if the light is still effective on the bottom

Planet Bike Superflash 2 Watt is a great tail light. It's bright as fuck and mounts to your bike and clips to your bag/rack.

I just bought that one about a month ago. I must say that I am impressed.
My Cygolite got water in it earlier this week. I removed the battery and let it dry out but the switch is still a little fussy. Am I fucked? Should I just buy a new one? It's 2 years old and been in a lot of rain and snow.
