Cheap Solution for riding at night

Most of you all knows that its kinda dangerous riding/cycling without a proper lights equipment.Usually when it comes to cycling lights equipment i'm sure you all familiar with the brand called Cateye or in malay mata kucing.Personally i think the flash light is a bit pricey.. since it will cost roughly RM50 and above and sometimes exceed 100.For the flash light..? just a normal ride? commuting to work? .. come on there must be another cheap alternatives or solution for it... finally i found a cheap solutions for it :)

With the help of one of the mountain biker blogger fren BC Kelolo (thanks bro i owe you one) which also commutes daily to the office by bike, i managed to find a cheaper flash light for the front and also for the back in Chowkit which costs me RM6 for a piece of flash light, RM3 for the back light and RM3 for the bicycle clip.



So i bought 2 flashlight holder clip, one rear lights and 2 flash light which includes the batteries.


Installing the rear lights


Installed the flash light holder.Unable to place it in the center of the bar since the bar is a bit thick and big.. perhaps in future need to upgrade to a smaller handle bar


Trying to fit the flash light onto the grip


Installed two flash light, one is just for spare in case its runs out of battery or malfunction.

So the total cost,

2 x unit of flash light holder clip(RM3.00 per unit) - RM 6.00
1 x rear lights (RM3.00 per unit) - RM 3.00
2 x flash light (RM6.00 per unit) - RM 12.00

Total = RM 22.00

Once again, i would like to say thanks to kelolo for sharing the idea and solutions.. keep posting dude.you rawks!!

Happy to read about your bike commute to the office.
Also a tip I learnt from Kelolo, you can use cable ties to fasten the holder near the center of your oversized Ø31.8 handlebar - no need to downgrade to Ø25.4 handlebar.
Enjoy your ride to work. Think safety always.
