recommend led bike lights
What are your opinions on the 'best' little led lights, I seem to be coming home at dusk and could just do with some little blinkies I can strap on.

Skullys are good and quite easily attach to your lid. As a secondary set mind...
Knog frog strobes are good and easy to pop in your pocket or switch to another bike.
In the situation you describe I use Skully's.
First time I saw them was when night MTBing and I was impressed by them so got a pair. Small, neat and very bright on flash. On in a few seconds and off into your pocket.
Have used them on the road - the back (red) ones are great.
Hope this helps.

Trikeman.
The Blackburn Mars is a really good light, and you can get one of them for well under £20, I also like the Revolution back up light we tested recently - have used that quite a lot, and that costs less than a tenner.
Ah should have said, fairly or very cheap, they really would be backups only. Thanks for the suggestions
Exposure flare. Not cheap but very bright and easy to move between bikes
Cateye Loop lights (or Nite-Ize Twist-Lites) are my favourite blinkies
