I did my first winter commute last year I lost so many lights due to their bad mounts and pot holes, I bought fiber flares, and electron light for front was not too cheap, should I get lights for the side of my bike also?
I'm thinking of getting more fiber flares, these are pretty bright. Do any of
You guys mount lights on your side for more visibility? And what lights do you reccomend for commuting with easy fitting and easy to take off as I will b doing club spins at weekend and will want to take them off easily

Cateye 1100 rear lights are very powerful and they also have LEDs on the side.0

I use a Magicshine on the front (small potted nuclear reactor) and knogs front amd rear as backup. 3M spoke straws take care of the sides. Personally I reckon it's an unbeatable combo for the buck.FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits
