    Ski Goggle Lens tint for cold weather/ direct sun or helmet with better sun shade?

    Anyone use ski goggles in the winter? I got a cheapish pair for about $20 Over the glasses ski goggles that are not tinted at all and they work really well, only problem was the sun. Part of my bike to work is on an east/west old train line and the sun is pretty bad for a few miles. I was...

    Bike Light powered by my on/off switch connected to a battery bank?

    I just ordered the RAM-B-108BU 2" rail mount to hold the light and i am going to try to see how it works with my current clamp setup i use for my rear camera screen, which i feel has been very secure, that thing was $20 on amazon and can hold a ball of 1" so it should hold the mount well. If...

    Bike Light powered by my on/off switch connected to a battery bank?

    So would that mean that the light can not exceed 4.5 to 7.5 watts? That seems low. It's hard to tell what a light would put out wattage wise. How do other people go about riding their electric bikes at night? Randy Rides has a video on replacing the stock light with a more powerful one...

    Bike Light powered by my on/off switch connected to a battery bank?

    wow that is very bright, 10,000 lumen. I see it has the option to power via a battery pack which you can buy through them or just the light with a power cable. I see motorcycle lights and similar lights like this that have a power cable or the black and red lights. I think what i really need...

    Bike Light powered by my on/off switch connected to a battery bank?

    yeah i saw that, but even if it were less than half, 2 might be useful but i will pass. Thanks for the info. Not really seeing that many other options that are marketed like that as in no battery. There are motorcycle lights but those are powered with a plug or red and black cable.

    Bike Light powered by my on/off switch connected to a battery bank?

    i found this for $15, it says its 1800 lumen and someone claims they use 3 at a time and it's very bright. Might consider it just for the price. https://www.amazon.com/SecurityIng-Headlamp-Waterproof-Headlight-Mountain/dp/B072J5886T

    Dash cams for bikes

    Yeah mine calls it "Screen saver" and i have the option for 1 minute, 3 minutes or off and it just shows the speed and doesn't turn off. Also when i short press the power it goes to the mph and not screen off. I think with the newer version they changed it most likely. I ordered a USB...
