Light: NiteRider Lumina Series
The Lumina Series from NiteRider is a compact, easy to use light system. Instead of messing around with a separate battery pack and cable, this is a single, self-contained unit that’s easily chargeable via a USB port. Within the Lumina Series, you currently have the choice of four different lumen levels: the 450, 600, 750, and 950. Perhaps most importantly: this line of lights is very affordable, with even the top-level 950 lumen light retailing for only $100 (or $150 for the OLED 950, if you want to add more features beyond the most basic model).

Yes....because where I live in SoCal and we have a plethora of bike shops all over the place with every brand imaginable, I definitely don't see the proliferation of Specialized and Trek's you night see elsewhere in the country. I know when I travel around the country where bike shops are far less common, it seems that said shops are more likely to carry either the Specialized or Trek bike line-up. I now in our loose group of 12-15 regulars, we have (5) Santa Cruz riders (4 on 27.5's and 1 29er), 3-4 that ride Trek Remedy 29er's and then a variety of other bikes. We have (1) guy that rides a 3 year old Specialized Enduro.
No....because they are mega bike companies, especially Specialized who have marketed their brand well and as I mentioned above, seem to "own" the markets where there are fewer (or maybe only one) shops. Obviously due to what I assume is a contractual issue, those shops then carry what seems like 98% Specialized shoes, helmets & clothing on top of Specialized tires, tubes and even bike pumps.
