conditions.
If you are mostly a daytime rider than just a mirror would be a big help. If you ride in both day and night conditions than a mirror and a set of lights would be best.  When it comes to mirrors you have a couple of type choices.
The adjustment period is usually a couple of rides. The handle bar mounted mirror is easy and convenient. There is not much of an adjustment period. They have a tendency to lose their settings due to the vibration. With your lights you have choices too. Rechargeable batteries in this case does not refer to rechargeable AA's. It means there is a battery pack attached to power the light. The battery pack is the rechargeable part. Due to the battery pack component these lights put out much more light. These lights are best for before dawn and after dusk conditions. Their cost is also considerably higher. You will consider them a bargain if you actually ride in such conditions. Non-rechargeable battery powered lights are much cheaper. They work really well around dawn and dusk. They don't put out enough light for much darker conditions.
