I got a Trek 5900 in Spring this year to replace my trusty Trek 7000
mountain bike. Before I set off for work today I grabbed the light and
bracket from my Mountain bike but when I got to work i've since
learned that the handlebar on the road bike is too thick to attach
the fitting. Therefore I need a new front light ASAP. Any
recommendations on a light which will fit to my handlebars (standard
bontrager which came with the bike)? I don't need a rechargable
system as my main riding is on a morning so it's only a 5 mile ride
home on a night via well lit roads.

I know this is a silly question, sorry, but have you removed a section of
bar tape? Most light brackets fit road bars unless trying to fit over the
tape or cables.

Anyway, I recommend the Cateye HL-EL200: will get you seen (and just about
bright enough to light unlit sections in emergencies too), batteries last
well, quite small & light, will fit your bars. Buy from bike shop,
www.cyclexpress.co.uk or www.eBay.co.uk
