I personally think that night scopes are better suited to terrorist warfare situations...I'll stick to ordinary bike lights.

Night Scopes are for transforming Bunnies into pies painlessly, and keeping my farming friends crops intact for all the veggie's and vegans to eat ...lol

I had 17hmr but rounds not as cheap as 22lr and found that even hitting a leaf / blade of grass would throw it off target some returned back to a cz 511 semi auto with sound mod

I'm happy with my 455 CZ ... it's chambered for 22LR and does everything it says on the tin ....

I've used them for offshore sailing, handy to find unlit buoys.
But I struggle to think of a cycling application...fixing flats for dyno light users?

Sneaking past border guards because you can't get the right visa?

Spotting danger when cycling through big game country at night?

Also struggling with this.
