Winter is coming – cycling lights up for grabs

cateye lights

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 Β£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.

Ethical insurance from the ETA

Cycle insurance from the ETA offers new-for-old replacement for life – unlike other providers, we don’t devalue your bike however old it is.

Every cycle insurance, breakdown cover or mobility scooter insurance policy you buy from us helps support the work of the ETA Trust, our charity campaigning for a cleaner, safer transport future. Little wonder the ETA has been judged Most Ethical Provider 2021 by The Good Shopping Guide.

      I need some lights as the ones on my electric bike are automatic and don’t come on until it is too dark

    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!

    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.

    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!
