Palm Beach Bike Tours

The best by far is the one from NiteRider. The only catch is that it costs $50 and has to plug into their battery pack, so you are going to spend $150 even if you go with the lowend Trailrat.

I balked at buying one until I followed one. It’s the only light I’ve seen that is actually effective in the daylight.

If you are looking at the low end, plan to spend about $15. I used a Vistalight before I bought the NiteRider.

If you want to go even lower than that, go to Home Depot or a hardware store and pick up a small button strobe for $2.95. They last about a month of fairly regular use and have replaceable batteries (although I usually keep the ones which are getting weak and give them out to riders I run into after dark. Weak is better than none.)
