    1. Add a flashlight

    To increase the light to make it easier to see everything, you should install a flashlight on the car to illuminate the road. In front of the car you should install a flashlight to see everything in front of you, on the hat you should also equip a light to illuminate where you look when turning your head left or right. On the other hand, you should also install a small flashlight on the back of the saddle so that people behind you can see and determine your position, in order to avoid collisions.

    Flashlight is an indispensable tool for your night bike rides, especially when riding a few nights. When preparing to go on a long bike ride, you should check the flashlight carefully, in case it burns out.
