Just been told my bike (Trek 4500) has arrived at Halfords (cycle2work
scheme). I now have £60 to spend (under the scheme) on security and
safety via Halfords vouchers and want to get a decent lock and lights for
the bike.

£60 for lights and lock? That's pushing it! Anyway, can we assume not
dynamo lights? What sort of riding at night will you be doing - dark
country lanes or bright street lights? How much time will you spend
riding in the dark? Just to get an idea what sort of lights/lock
proportion to spend your money on, based on a lock being around 10%
minimum of the bikes value.

Probably most street lights and hopefully 3-4 hrs per week... As the bike
cost £400, then the lock is £40, thus leaving £20+ for lights. You are
right, no dynamo lights....

Remember, it has to come from Halfords as that the old place I can spend the
vouchers...
