on most of your dicriptions of headlamps you dont give the lums. im also a biker who needs at least 85 lums so i can bike with my headlamp.

The reason so many don't list lumens is it's an imperfect measure. Lumens measures total output, not usable light. with Hiking lights, that tends to be an even glow (flood), whereas with a bike, you want to see what is directly in front of you (with a spot or pencil beam).
What kind of riding will you be doing? (road or mountain) What kind of speeds are you hoping for?
I've done several long road rides by headlamp. They are fine on extended climbs, but dangerous at any kind of speed. Mountain biking, you have to be super slow and cautious. The faster and more technical, the bigger your light should be.
You might be interested in a lamp with a focused led like the spot.
