Fur Kanal - that would show up the noddies!

[Tigadee]

Oh! I thought I saw a few of those on the road here but then realised that it was the LSD making it seem that way...

[Maha]

I don't think you are allowed any white lights showing to the rear, or any red ones to the front. and absolutely nothing flashing. but my 11 yr old daughter would love one.

alternatively just wear a big sign around your neck with the words "PENIS"!

I like his jacket.

most of my mountainbiker mates are rocking 1000 - 1900 lumen Cree LED retina burners.

The old visibility = safety arguement. Doh.

My understanding, and I could be wrong is; so long as the lighting system is not attached to the bike....If its on the person there is nothing wrong or illegal. Some riders already wear those flashing X type led lights (can't remember the name). As I said I could be wrong?

LED cycle lamps are pretty awesomely bright these days. Plenty of them are better than the headlight of any motorcycle I've ever ridden at night.

I've got a keyring that's brighter than the headlights on most of my first bikes.

Hard to understand why nobody's marketing a helmet with built-in LEDs. I for one would pay good money for one sporting a pair of 1000L units faired into the shell above the ears. Remote battery pack or wire teather to the bike's loom...

It'd really need to be connected to the high/low beam switch to avoid blinding other traffic.

No, but I don't ride along main roads constantly staring down and to the left either.
