Bicycle Head and Tail Light Set (2008)

Now that it gets dark by 4:30 pm, I find myself in need of a head light and tail light for my bike. You can find these in any store that sells bike accessories. Some good brands include Bell, Cat Eye, Planet Bike and Petzl. I prefer models that are easily removable so I can unclip them to avoid theft. A tail light with flashing mode(s) is also useful.

Individually, head and tail lights sell for $12 and up. This set from Bell, available at Dick's Sporting Goods, retails for about $20.
