Any recommendations for bike lights? They all seem to come with non-replaceable internal rechargable batteries these days 😢

minus-square@callcc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish6•edit-24 months agoPlease watch out to orient your light in a way that it wont point into your fellow cyclists eyes. That can be very unsettling. Bike lights often have optics that try to prevent this from happening off course only when properly oriented.
