70% of cyclist fatalities are from behind. A bright, daylight-visible rear light is non-negotiable — day or night.

Daytime running lights (DRL) reduce cyclist crash rates by an estimated 19% according to the Danish road safety council. Look for at least 50 lumens in solid mode, a daylight pulse mode, and good side visibility. Pair with a Garmin Varia rear radar if you ride busy roads.
USB-C is standard, but a second rear light (one on the seatpost, one on the helmet or pannier) is the cheapest safety upgrade you can make.
