> Safety: run both front and rear lights in flash mode all day and night Do not fucking do this. Not only it is a pain in the arse for other people, it's also actively dangerous. In the dark it can make it look like you're further away, behind a hedge of something that'd block light. Lights should be on continously. > Helmet always. Really no reason to. > Crotch pain: Get padded bike underwear, and switch it out post-ride to keep it dry. Just get a better saddle, and ensure the saddle's in the right position and leaning. Either a softer one, or, if you're on a bike with a forward leaning posture, a saddle with a hole in it.
