    Re: bicycle lights

    I have an Exposure Lights Flash/Flare set. You can have both the front and rear lights blink or shine constant. Front light is good enough for dawn/dusk commuting if needed. They are made overseas so Chain Reaction Bicycles is usually the best site to get them.

    Serfas TL-ST Seat Stay Rear Bike Light - Black/Red at REI.com red

    I like these. Their lightweight and strap easily anywhere and illuminate red very well. Come in black or white. Buy them at Kyles in Ankeny or most LBS I would guess.

    Just make sure you have these aimed correctly, lest you really **** off oncoming traffic.

    As for a legitimate recommendation, I'd suggest going to your local bike shop and asking what they use on their own bikes.
