These are great for your handlebar, or even better if you strap it to your helmet:

For rear, take your pick:

except the little tiny one, don't get that. I like something that takes AA batteries on the rear, as it lasts a long time. The front needs a USB to charge, but only once every week or so, depending on your ride. It's worth it for the brightness. I too am cheap, but don't go to cheap. I made that mistake, and ended up spending more!
