    Cateyes are my favourite lights but the set I have use batteries. Rechargeables would be a great improvement. Maybe on my list for Santa if I don’t win.

    Check and charge my lights weekly but also ensure I have all my reflective gear on as well – big fan of ProViz. I used to have these lights on my bike but I clearly didn’t clip the front one on properly one time as I went over a bump and it flew off never to be seen again on

    It would be great to have a light that illuminates the unlit bike path on my commute, rather than straining to see what it’s in front of me, the occasional path-side tall bush looks like a potential pedestrian!

    I’d love the chance to win these. I’ve used cat-eye for quite a few years now and find them pleasingly compact and also durable. Unfortunately, I had a rear light stolen yesterday – accidently left out in a public place so this draw seems especially attractive – being re-chargeable too is a big plus.
