Question What can I use to attach a light to my helmet?

Hey guys, I'm in a fix; my parents demand I must use a light at night, but aside from no-handing it, I need to attach my light somehow. And I just hate the idea of attaching it to my bike, since i think it's just gonna break if i do that, falling off or smacking hard or something.

Any suggesions??! Pleeeeeze?

Whatever you do, don't drill any holes, or screw anything into the helmet. Most helmet setups have a mount that the light slides/clips into and the mount is held onto the helmet with a strap that runs from one vent to the next. Depending on the light you have, the mfg might make a helmet mount kit for it.

Good luck,
Chris

Are you tatlking about a full on riding light or a commuter type light to let cars know you're around?

I am thinking about ziptieing my surefire flashlights to my helmet. there is a guy that works for surefire that has 2 on his lid and he said its super bright. i would say zipties and a flashlight if you are looking for the cheap route. you can pickup a cheap multi LED flashlight at Target for about $15.

Go to the hardware store and pick up some dubble sided tape . It's strong ! Velcro can work if you want to remove it .
