Which is the best helmet is good to know.
I’ve also seen the bike radar that Cannondale/Garmin are making but am interested in what other options there might be.
Anything that improves safety and not being hit by cars! Thanks.
Strobes on the back are fine. I used to ride to work before daylight every morning. I decided to add a strobe to my headlight to make sure oncoming traffic could see me. I rode with it for a few weeks and threw it in the trash. I think the strobe confused oncoming drivers and they actually swerved closer to me on dark 2 lane roads. A good bright rechargeable headlight is great, but I would really think about the strobe.
