Yes, that and a Niterider Cyclone HID. I like the Niterider because it has LEDs that you can set to flashing when you don't need the HID to see by and they barely use the battery... but the Arc has...

Mexicali to San Felipe, I think it was 1980. This was a mostly flat 200k, I rode it on a Voris Dixon BMX/cruiser singlespeed with fairly high gearing. About 16 miles of road had washed out from...

I don't think that a helmet light is overkill. I've commuted for about three years with an Arc on the handlebars and a Niterider Cyclone HID on my helmet. I don't think it's too much light, I've...
