A reflector only reflects light from some light-source such as an on-coming car's headlight, whereas a real light actually casts light. Without headlights, bicycle operators are invisible to pedestrians at night when no car is coming, and of course, they cannot see the road surface and so risk death or serious injury. Only an antisocial moron - or a drunk - would operate any vehicle at night with no headlight.

What is a light and heavy weight for a mtb bike?
For a mountain bike, a light weight would typically be around 25-30 pounds for a cross country or trail bike, while a heavy weight would be anything over 35 pounds, often found in downhill or freeride bikes. However, the exact weight considered light or heavy may vary depending on the specific bike's intended use and components.
What type of energy conversion takes place when riding a bike turns on the headlight?
The energy produced is obviously light energy. The energy is provided by the bicycle's kinetic energy.
What force stops the motion of a bike?
friction by applying the brakes? When you apply the brakes, there are pads on either side of the metal part of the wheel, they squeeze together tighter and tighter until the wheel stops turning, which stops the motion of the bike.
What kind of energy transformations does riding a bike?
When riding a bike, the energy transformations involve converting chemical energy from food into mechanical energy to pedal the bike, which is then transformed into kinetic energy to move the bike forward. Additionally, some of the mechanical energy is lost as heat due to friction between moving parts.
You are riding on your bike and stop pedaling coasting along the road when your bike slows down and stops What happened to the energy of your motion when your bike stopped?
The energy of your motion transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat and sound, due to factors like friction between the bike's tires and the road. Kinetic energy from your forward motion was converted into kinetic energy between the tires and road, as well as heat energy due to friction, causing the bike to slow down and eventually stop.
What is the difference between bike headlights and bike reflectors?
A reflector is like a clever mirror, it doesn't shine by its own but will cause any light that hits it to bounce back in the direction that it came from. A headlight is a light, if you have it on it will shine by itself. Reflectors are great for being seen by people who are shining a light in your direction while lights can be seen by anyone looking.
When riding a bike at night ride towards traffic?
It's not clear what your question is, but generally speaking legal bike riding at night require the bike to be fitted with forward facing white reflector, rearward facing red reflector and side facing yellow/orange reflectors as well as forward facing white light and rearward facing red light.
How many reflectors do you need on a bike?
How far a reflector can be seen depends on the power of the light shining at it. So there's no set answer.
This helps you be seen when you're riding a bike?
Reflector, lights, dynamo.
What is the difference between a trail dirt bike and motocross dirt bike?
motor cross is faster
What is the difference between a gear bike and a mountain bike?
I have no idea what you mean by "gear bike", so the question can't be answered.
How do you make a bmx lighter?
You start off with a light frame, then you get a light fork, light wheels, light tires, light bars, light seat post, and light cranks. To get a light bike, you really have to use light parts through and through, and it's cheaper to buy a light bike already to start with than to lighten a heavy bike piece by piece.
What is the difference between dirt bike helmets and ATV helmets?
Mountain bike helmets are better than dirt bike helmets
What is the difference between thumpstar bike and motorcross bike?
there is not much difference usually people think that they are smaller and are more powerful, which is true, although they can be normally sized
Difference between has and have?
The difference is the person who is possessing. For example you would say "I have a bike" or "He has a bike". You would not, however, say "I has a bike" or "He have a bike" unless you're ignorant and uneducated.
Difference between 220cc and 150cc bike engine?
difference between 220cc and 150cc is that 150cc has less cc than 200cc
What are the differences between 28 and 700c bike tires?
The main difference between 28 and 700c bike tires is their width. 28 tires are typically narrower than 700c tires, which are wider. This difference in width can affect the overall performance and handling of the bike.
