For those of us committed to bike commuting, let's take a look at some safe ways to make sure we can See and Be Seen through the morning twilight.

Don't forget to check the batteries on your tail lights. We recommend using at least two tail lights and make sure they are clearly visible from multiple angles. One large bright red light fully illuminated and one smaller light set to a slow strobe. The Vont dual bike light set is perfect for this application since they are super easy to mount and have a 650 mAh usb rechargeable lithium ion battery that lasts 10 hours when set to a slow strobe. We don't recommend fast strobe bike lights in general since they may distract or even disorient oncoming motorists. Using two sets of lights also offers redundancy in case one fails. A solid bar end mirror is also critical for good rear field awareness.

As for front lights it's important to equip a light that can see and a light that can -be seen-. For recreational riding at low speeds, bike lights below 250 lumens are usually fine. For commuting and or higher speed riding above 30 mph, we recommend using at least one headlight with over 900 lumens in order to properly see what's coming up in front of you. This could be paired with a less bright smaller light set to a slow strobe in order to help be seen. Vont's new bike light is easy to mount, offers 250 lumens and has three simple settings. It can be used as a headlight at low speeds, or as a supplemental strobe light and is usb rechargeable. Be sure to also check your front light mounts and fully charge or replace the batteries often.

Helmet mounted lights are a plus as they give you a separate spotlight pointed in the direction you are looking. We really like the convenience of the Vont Spark headlamp for this.
Keep in mind that in some communities it is illegal to ride in the dark without lights. This is also a good time to check and re-torque your bike's fasteners, mostly the axle nuts, pedals, cranks, headset, stem, brakes and brake levers. Don't forget to lubricate your chain and brake lines, then inspect the tires and top off tube pressure the night before.
