While riding outside, using both a front and rear light can be a great way to see at night or be seen during the day by other road users. However, if lights aren’t needed by law where/when you are riding, when it’s raining, using lights (especially a rear light) is a really good idea due to the reduced visibility and of decreased brightness. But, it’s always a good idea to ensure your bike lights are waterproof to some degree, so to save you the hassle, we’ve comprised a list of the best waterproof bike lights.

The USA is owed a huge debt of thanks from anyone who loves cycling. A band of rebellious punks, focused on the west coast around the Marin hills of California, worked and welded in their parents’ garages from the early 1970s onwards to turn traditional ways of cycling on its head.

We at least owe BMX bikes and mountain bikes to this US manufacturing spirit and invention. Leading bike innovation Trek Trek’s innovative technology and sustainability ethos sets them apart, specializing in road, mountain, and e-bikes. Visit Store Read More Performance-driven designs…

Cycling is wonderful for a whole range of reasons. It’s a lovely way to travel, a leisurely activity for a sunny weekend, and a great way to get and keep fit, too.
