I am looking for some clip-on lights. What I have is not satisfying because the lights keep moving during a ride, which seems rather unsafe!

    Are you doing MTB or road cycling?

    I’ve had my Cygolite Metro for years and it has worked pretty well. I used to commute 10+ miles each way for 2-3 years, and I had very little issue with it dropping. Granted, I did make it pretty tight myself and checked it periodically (2-3x/year).

    That was on a smooth bike path with very few bumps, so if you’re doing MTB or lots of curb drops or something, you’ll probably have issues. If that’s the case, I’d probably get something mounted to the helmet so it’s always pointed where you’re looking.

    Some bikes have a mounting option on the stem (e.g. my Trek bike does), so there may be accessories for that. But anything strapped to the handlebars will misbehave with lots of bumps.
