These aren't intended to light the road ahead of the cyclist they simply make the bike more visible to all around it. As a cyclist I don't give a shit if a motorist finds these annoying so long as he notices I'm there .

How can being more visible at night be stupid !

too much blabla..not rating, not subbing.

These are freakin sweet! They need to hurry up and release them and get popular so someone on the web can show me how to make them myself! I'm sorry, but $220 is a rip off for these! I would maybe pay $75. I know I can get the materials for less then $20. There isn't that much to them

@Baynham3 lol..i can imagine.

[Baynham3]

@Metal4Life572 haha yh i kno, riding in london has taught me that but its always funny watching their faces after you ride away from them and jump a stair set :P

[Metal4Life572]

@Baynham3 ..regardless,the law states then when operating ANY VEHICLE on a roadway it must abide by road laws...not that i ever did when riding a bike..but just so ya know a cop can stop you for not doing so.

[Baynham3]

@Metal4Life572 yh but only middle aged people actually conform to the road laws on pushbikes, you see em with their bright helmets and shit bikes (usually all bought from halfords) riding along pretending their bikes are road vehicles when theyre obviously not. thats like riding a scooter or a skateboard, or pushing a pram in the road... jus cos it got wheels dont mean its a road vehicle. they got no engine, doesnt need tax or insurance or mot... its not a road vehicle, jus people being dumb.

@Baynham3 beg the differ..but all bicycles that use the roads still have to conform to the laws of the road..ie stopsigns,speedlimit,stop lights,you are even required to use handsignals when making turns or stopping/slowing down..etc..don't believe me,ask local law enforcement.

[Baynham3]

@MrGoofyfooter why would you stop at traffic lights on a pushbike???? the good point about em is you can ride them on pavements so you never really need to stop

@tonyk21463 could be stupid....if one is cycling through an unsafe neighbourhood.
