…removal of lights today. was tempted to take off mudguards as well, but thought better of it.

anyone else done the same?

Took the lights off last week...then thought better of it, just in case I had a P*ncture on the way back and ended up cycling in the dark. Deffo no lights on this week, though!

 

[Crankarm]

Nope, as I is a full time cyclist. Anyway snow and ice will make a return this week tues night/wednesday . The typical British summer is now upon us .

I keep lights on all year - you never know when you might have to ride back after dark, even in the summer. What's the downside? Weight?

Yup! Never remove mine either.

 

[MadoneRider1991]

lol

I shall probably compromise: take off the heavy (-ish) rechargeable front some time this week (thus freeing up a bottle cage), but leave the rear on, it doesn't weigh much. But leave the mount in place on the bars for a small clip-on front (kept in desk drawer) - 'just in case' .

Mudguards are definitely staying on the fixie.

 

[bikermaze]

I don't remove the lights and mudguards. I also ride home late at night.

No lights, no mudguards and I've got the season off to such a great start that I can afford to be choosy and not ride in the wet. The mountain bike is for wet muddy rides.

 

[goo_mason]

Nope - it'll be dark at 6am when I cycle in to work so the lights stay on. In actual fact, I left my lights on all year round last year - there were so many dark, wet days with reduced visibility that I had them switched on a lot throughout the summer!

Have taken big "headlamp" lights off, but still occasionally cycle in dusk/twighlight/misty conditions etc so keep front and rears on just in case.

Mudguards are a permanent fixture on both my bikes... went out t'other week with two friends who were guardless... it rained... it wasn't pleasant to ride behind them, and their clothes got filthy
