Flashing LED Armbands

[DCLane]

I passed one tonight with 8 of them - obviously 2 Aldi packs/8 Poundland ones. He had two on each arm and two on each leg. Plus 3 rear lights, hi-viz jacket and trousers and an extra light on the back of his helmet.

From my perspective, that's overkill

Me, a Cateye 5 LED light and Hump rucksack cover has to do.

Depends on what roads you ride on , maybe a few less armbands but i ride on completely dark unlit lanes i i currently have ...

Smart r2 on the seat post
1 smart 7 led rear light on each pannier

I would get fed up with it taking 15 mins to get ready to go home after work !

I can thankfully leave my battery pack on the bike, as it's overlooked & very close to the office, but previously, I have had to get changed into my cycle gear and

1. strap on a rack pack
2. clip on 2 rear lights
3. clip on front flasher light
4. start off the flashing armband on back of helmet
5. clip on & hitch up the twin light front light thingy, and strap the battery pack on the frame
6. unlock the bike.

Having done all that after a days' work I barely have the energy to cycle home !
