Now that the sun sets a bit earlier – it’s a great time to think about riding with lights so you can see and be seen by other traffic! It just makes sense and we are very pleased to carry a bunch of great lights to meet the needs of a wide variety of cyclists. Whether you commute each evening or find yourself on the Minuteman trail at 9pm – we’ve got a light for you!
Most lights now a days are rated in Lumens. The lumen can be thought of casually as a measure of the total “amount” of visible light emitted from some source. The higher the rating – the brighter the light. Here’s a spectrum of the lights we offer.
