Bicycle Lights For Winter
Whether you are strapping lights to your helmet to illuminate the road ahead or to your handlebars for some daytime flashing lights, any ride would be incomplete without lights. Make sure you're ready to keep logging those miles even with these short winter days. Let's discuss the benefits of light sets, headlights, and taillights, along with some Performance Bike staff favorites.
Light Sets
Light sets can provide a great bang for your buck. Whether you are looking for a pair of daytime running lights or something to light the way after sunset, these are a great option.

Headlights
For road or gravel bikes, a high-powered light mounted to your handlebars will get the job done and allow you to keep riding all year long. For mountain biking, we like to use two headlights; one on your handlebars and one on your helmet, – with the more powerful light on your helmet. To really be able to enjoy riding at night, we recommend a headlight that produces at least 500 lumens – that way you can see farther up the road. For MTB, an even brighter light is helpful.
