I would love to read what are the best tricks you learned in your commuting experience.

I would like to propose a format, where we use one comment for each single trick/suggestion, so if you have multiple tricks, post multiple comments. This would allow upvotes to create a ranking of best suggestions

I will start with a couple of tricks from my experience.

    I’ve had those magnetic lights, it is just ok to be seen (thanks to reflective parts) but useless if you need to ride in the dark (I have some km outside the city with total darkness). I don’t remember why I wanted it so bad, maybe a pimpmybike mood as I had a dynamo hub on this bike, but now I won’t install it on my bikes. Apologies if I broke your mood, I would recommand to save for a real dynamo hub + lights :)

      No apologies needed, this is exactly the kind of tips I wanted to read, based on real experience.

      I don’t need to light dark areas, I want to be visible in all situations, but I will re-evalauate them, and maybe try to test them for real. Thank you
