Hi people who like riding for long distances in the dark. Is there anything that can be done about temporary blindness caused by oncoming traffic not dipping its headlights? I just nearly took myself out by riding into a kerb I couldn't see.
My solution, in addition to avoiding looking at the oncoming lights is a really powerful front light of my own. I have used both Lupine and Exposure, with what seems like silly brightness. I run them on the lowest setting, until confronted by oncoming lights, when I switch to max power and look at the pool of light on the road. Drivers dip their lights too, but most importantly you can see that kerb!
