thats true, i have seen a few bikes my end with 2 light and i found as long as they where close enough together i knew they where a bike. i have put 2 rear lights on as well and screwed them to the holes for the rack that goes over the rear wheel

Sorry I was just pulling your plonker.

I live in Leicester and believe you me you need at least 2 round here, I've been known to run 4, a pair of Electron 8 LED focussed beam 'seeing' lights and 2 white Cateye 5 LED that either flash or steady and still cars pull out on me. I do occasionally ride on long stretches of unlit lanes cos some of my mates live in the back of beyond or Thurlaston as its better known.

Nice ride! I'm particularly interested in the "straps" you use to hold the two flashlights on your bars. Are these the same?

Thats a cracking bike mate, and a bargain in my opinion, look after it, and it will look after you. Enjoy.

I'm going to sound a note of caution on those lights if they are the decathlon ones I think they are. Were they £15 or so each in a set with the rear too? they look very similar to some I got a while back. they don't put out a huge amount of light nor over a great distance. Mine that looks just like that has been relegated from bike duties to being a looking under the stairs torch.

Nice bike BTW and you have some lovely country to ride it in.
