Road Bike Lights | Everything You Need To Know

This video contains product placement for Magicshine Lights.

A set of lights should be one of the first accessories on your shopping list. They are essential when cycling at night or if visibility is poor, making lights a must-have during the winter and a smart addition to your road or urban commuter bike even in the summer.

It’s a legal requirement in the United Kingdom, and many US states, to have lights on your bike if you’re cycling after sunset, but what should you buy?

In this video, we tell you how many lumens you need, the best features to look for, and why Germany has a law we might want to copy.
