Re: Clent Incident 14/06/2017 -
Definitely should report all such incidents although I've not always well done for getting half the reg. A cycliq fly six is great and can be got for c£90 online. Battery life is v good as is the light. Only rear facing though, I'm saving up for fly12 front as the fly6 is so good.
