"Even if you only ride in the daytime, you should still ride with lights. According to Trek, 80% of accidents happen during the day, which makes sense since more cyclists are out during daylight hours. But using a daytime running light is reported to lead to 33% fewer collisions, while making cyclists 240% more visible. And if you're using something like the Trek Ion 100 R and Flare R City combo, you can add a lot of visibility to your ride."
"While the latest version has gotten a bit larger, the tradeoff is increased run time, faster charging, and better visibility. Falling into the 'to be seen' light category, rather than the more powerful 'to see with' category, Trek's Ion 100 R and Flare R offer 100 and 20 lumens, respectively, at their highest powers. This is said to offer visibility up to 900m away, and they include High, Low, Day Flash, and Night Flash (Flare R only) running modes."
Daytime cycling carries a high accident rate, with 80% of accidents occurring during the day. Daytime running lights reduce collisions by 33% and increase cyclist visibility by 240%. Trek's Ion 100 R (100 lumens) and Flare R City (20 lumens) focus on being seen rather than illuminating the road, offering visibility up to 900m and multiple modes including High, Low, Day Flash and Night Flash. The latest versions are slightly larger to add side light windows and a distinct lens design for front/rear differentiation, while maintaining low weights (35g front, 38g rear) and offering longer runtime and faster charging.
