I've done it now!!

I took my 19 yr old with me to the local woods recently (he is using my old Saracen) and he really enjoyed it.
He was sitting in the front room with me last night and was saying how much he enjoyed it.
Then, the bombshell.
"Mum.....how much would a set of high powered lights cost? I'm thinking that ride would be so much more fun in the dark".

Help me! I've created a monster!

Ha, ha. It would certainly be a whole new experience! I have only occasionally cycled in proper darkness with lights on and it feels like you are going so much faster than you are, and that's on the roads. Not sure how mountain biking on trails would feel.

Out of the mouths of babes and little children! Although he's hardly that! Sounds like it could be fun.

Have a look on the cree T6 thread, loads of advice on there. You can't go wrong with the chinese T6 copies and they are as cheap as chips.
