Got some old 10Wx2 halogen bike lights that I use on my MTB and they are fully suitable for off roading, however, on my road bike I don't think these will be suitable as they do not light far enough ahead for road speeds and light up the canopy, annoy drivers etc.
Having had a trawl around the web I've come across some options and wanted to see what the general advise was on here.
Option 1
Philips LED safelight, 2 hours run time and apparently really good for road use.
Option 2
B&M Cyo Plus + B&M dynamo, no need for batteries and almost as good as the Philips.
What does anyone else use and are there any issue with fitting a bottle dynamo on a road bike, I can't afford a hub dynamo/wheel and will remove it when the nights get lighter.
Does anyone else train on a road bike in the dark, I currently only off-road in the dark away from the traffic, what can I expect from drivers out of town.
