all my bikes have good lighting. I tend to procrastinate and leave home late on recreational rides. Right now my commuter is the only one that doesn't have lighting, but that has to change soon because I'll be riding home in the dark. Rack accidents or tampering took out both taillight and headlight on the commuter. Probably going to up-armor the replacement lights.

I gave my son my previous commuter to ride at school. It had a rack I made on it, and I haven't made a new rack for the commuter I'm using now. I really don't mind carrying my bag on my back that much. I haven't ridden my road bike to work recently, but I always liked it.
