I’ve had this argument a few times on here, but get shouted down every time – here goes again 🙂
Too much light a) spoils the night ride experience b) blinds other cyclists c) spoils other night riders night vision when you flash them d) is a lot less fun for me than scudding down a singletrack with a relatively limited light source.
I’m not sure what the sweet spot is, but daylight kinda defeats the purpose for me.
I could save a furtune by not having to bother charging my lights and just using his overspill light.
I doubt it, have you actually calculated the cost of charging your lights for a year? 😀
