I sometimes ride at night, one light in front, one in back. It's fine.
Though it probably should be said: as cyclists we know (or should know) every ride could be our last. I long ago asked myself if the risk of possibly being hit, running into/over something I didn't see until the last instant, or just committing some boneheaded error all on my own, was worth it. Yes, I decided, yes, it is. If non-riders can't understand, not my problem. There are no guarantees in this world. Better to live doing what you love than trying to avoid every risk because... you can't
