We all deserve an Indian summer, but this is the time of year it pays to check and – if necessary – renew your winter bike lights.
In honour of the forthcoming change of season we have a USB-rechargeable Cateye Volt 200XC and Rapid Mini light set worth £50 to give away. The compact USB-rechargeable, 200-lumen light has a choice of modes and a recharge time of three hours.
To be in with a chance of winning, simply leave us a comment below and we’ll pick a winner next week.

Nick Longson
I need some lights as the ones on my electric bike are automatic and don’t come on until it is too dark
Darren C
The season change is certainly on it’s way, when I get up for work it is now dark, to have USB rechargeable lights would be great, much better than my current (sorry for the pun) ones using AAA batteries. Plus I can charge them at my desk!
Peter
The light set looks awesome and I’m always happy to recommend ETA as it’s the best insurance I’ve used and I have 3 bikes with you.
Stephen

Jonathan
“This little light of mine – I’m going to let it shine” now ringing through my head…

You can never have too much safety and lights are a definite plus even on dull days.

They look good
peter Gibney
Can’t wait to try them out!

A set of light rechargeable are always a good thing and now that they days are shortening, even better
Thomas K
Will soon start to commute by bike so these would be a great upgrade to my older cateye lights.
Alison C
It’s my son’s first winter on the roads. He is 6 and is adopted, so has develomental trauma. That means he is in danger of “flipping out” quite easily. We have been doing pavement riding for over 6 months now and the joy he gets from being properly “in control” is amazing. His confidence has soared.
I hope to pass on my bike lights to him and get a new set with power enough to keep both of us safe! USB is the way to go.
Alistair Leith
i like bright lights …. =-)
Sam
I need a new set, these would be ideal
Tony Lake
The trike and I,fully intend to see ourselves through another winter, Living in an area with no street lighting makes my illumination essential.
Gavin Wright
Light up my life with this illuminating prize from CatEye (please!)
Pamela
Good easy lights are essential. I would give these to my son as he starts regular commuting to uni in London.
Vincent
Pick me 😁
Mr Christopher Rawlinson
It makes us proud to be a policyholder and a supporter of ETA An organisation that cares to remind people to be properly illuminated whilst cycling in winter and the set would ensure continuity of use of lights as oppose to my present lights which have an insatiable appetite for AAA batteries Thank you for your consideration
Steve K
Another bright idea for the winter. Yes please!
Anita lake
Living in an area with no street lighting l rely on good lights on my trike all the year round but even more so druring the winter months
Mr Christopher Rawlinson
It’s so refreshing to engage with an ethical company such as ETA who cares to remind you about having appropriate lighting whilst out cycling during the autumn and winter months
The lighting set would replace my existing lights which have an insatiable appetite for AAA batteries Thank you for your consideration
Mark Roberts
Having cycled to/from work daily for nearly 40 years, I have been through quite a number of light sets….. A nice new set which doesn’t let me down and need me to source and fit fiddly batteries is something greatly to be desired!
Simon Randall
USB rechargeable bike lights? What a bright idea!
Peter Chisnall
Blinding!
Olly
Giving away some lights – what a bright idea! I could do with a set as the evenings draw in
Andy KIng
My Bike chain broke 18 miles from home. Phone call answered and dealt with speedily and 20 minutes or so later taxi arrived to take both myself and bike home Excellent experience
JonM
Definitely a bright idea to make sure you are seen day or night.

I’ve used Cateye lights for years. I’ve a new bike on the way, so a new set of lights will be very useful!

I drive as well as cycling and am amazed at the number of cyclists who put themselves in danger during twilight by wearing all-dark clothing and showing weak lights.
Bryn Gwyndaf Jones
Just the job!
Couldn’t be better.
Mags
A timely reminder, before the clocks go back next month. Yes, rechargeable lights would be great and more environmentally friendly than buying and discarding batteries.
Bazza
Light nights are rapidly dwindling, so new rechargeable lights will be great. Just need to recharge the rider too!
James
Agree nights pulling in sadly new light would be fantastic
Les Gunbie
Yes please

Always important to have lights as the days get shorter. Low sun means lights to counter low sun dazzle.

Light up my winter riding and let me ride off into the sunset ( at 3.50pm )

Steve Fisher
These are great lights that would be excellent for my bike.
Pete A
I’ve been using a Cateye rear light for about 20 years and it’s great for it’s age (but changing the batteries can be a bit fiddly). I’m now looking to update the bike with usb lights front and back and would be very happy with the set you are offering !
james T
its nice to see safety equipment being given as a prize instead of useless trash. Good timing now as my front light has just failed.
Tim Earl
Look great to me.
Chaz
To quote the band Snow Patrol, ‘Light up, Light up!’

Hello,
Cateye lights would be fantastic. Currently stuck in the countryside being run off the roads by cars that claim they can’t see me.
Have a nice day!

I do really need some new lights for the cycle track in winter through the forest. And Cateye are a quality product 🙂

my mother would love a new set of quality bike light for her electric bike
Anita Brayford
Light-weight and re-chargeable – just what I need.

Cateye bright lights. Can’t beat ’em. Imperative to be seen when out and about these dark mornings and evenings now. An extra set would be most useful….

Cycle lighting technology has progressed so much recently and these look excellent for use on lit and even unlit roads. I’d love to try them out please.
Roz Franklin
Good bike lights essential for winter rides, especially if you stay out longer than intended and the light fades.
Mark Gaines
Need to give mine a charge before I set off out later tonight. I could do with another set on the bike as batt don’t last long.

I like to be the lucky recipient
FRAN MCLEAN
Perfect for my new gravel bike ❤️
Iain
I need some new lights for kid’s bike to encourage the next generation to keep cycling through the winter. These would be ideal.
Mark L
Lite lights for winter nights. Easy to clip on and off and keep Knights of the road safe and sound.

Could already do with these on my ride home every night!!
Steve B
Summer gone in a flash lol……. lets get ready for winter cycling 🙂
