The light system that I use for night rides on the single tracks outputs 4200 lumens max. Yes, it’s quite bright but it’s also safer to have the trail well lit when there’s no other source of ambient light to guide me. I can also dial it down to one low beam or shut it off completely with a handlebar mounted thumb remote.Riding trails in the snow, at night, please turn off your headlight... !

The trails that I ride are used exclusively by two wheelers and it’s rare that I’ll come across any other riders at night other than the friends who I ride with. People who are out walking generally use the public pathways instead which are winter maintained. My encounter with the sleigh was anticipated as I was making my way home along the main road out. I had my low beam on at the time but turned it off immediately when I heard the driver’s voice call out to me. I'm all about staying safe which includes others who prowl the areas where I generally ride at night.
