Aero bikes and lights.

Just wondering, if you bought an "aero" bike, how would you fit lights to it? Some have handlebars with wide flat tops, rather than tubular.
Certainly this time of year, I've needed lights cycling on a weekday evening, when there's not that many hours of daylight left.

I suppose designers didn't have to take this into consideration seeing that attaching stuff to an aero bike kind of defeats the point ... however for the sake of N+1 you might find the excess of lights that use rubber wrap abound clips might work
all my lights have those stretchy rubber straps ... it allows for easy moving between bikes there is a brobability you can wrap them around all the ovals .... I attach one of my rears to a flat surface on the pannier rack ... other times it goes around the seat post or the chain stays
Rear light is on a loop on the seat pack; luckily this means it's pointing in the right direction. Plenty of lights with rubber straps for aero tubing / seatposts though
Change the bars.
I've known others to use a bit of silly putty as a mouldable light mount on seatposts.
I'd say if the aero bar is an issue then maybe one that uses orings and hangs under the stem. Not ideal but a helmet mounted light could work.
I have a Propel, no issues with any of this. Then again, it isn't a team issue SL either. Just an Advanced.
