Fluorescent clothing ? Where

Fluorescent clothing ? Where was retro relective?

Were the prices in Zim dollars, Aus dollars, NZ dollar, US dollar. I have no idea where RIDR are based.

Other desired features:
Other desired features: robustness; reliability; fast charging time (or more precisely, good charge to use ratio); low battery indicator. And it seems a bit odd to bundle mounting options and ease of use in together – they’re two different things.

Also, the question on cycling infrastructure is a bit dubious. Cycling infrastructure =/= cycle lanes. If a ‘cycle lane’ is separate, then it’s not a cycle lane – it’s a cycle track. ‘Markings on street’ do not constitute ‘good’ infrastructure. The value of infrastructure doesn’t just depend on what type of provision there is, but how well designed and maintained, and whether it forms a coherent network that gets you where you want to go.

I agree with Welsh boy and
I agree with Welsh boy and why aren’t gloves and glasses included as safety accessories? Also, standards compliance should go on the list of desired features for a light.

What a terrible survey. I

What a terrible survey. I live in the UK and have no idea how much i spend in dollars on a light and when asked to prioritise options I cant give the same score to things which have equal value to me.  For what it is worth, the most important feature for a front light for me is beam shape, I want a very narrow beam which shines a long way ahead, I dont want a wide beam lighting up the hedges and either side of the road, there is nothing of interest there when riding in the dark, I want to see pot holes, rubbish and bends ahead of me.
