The Knog Frog light is the perfect solution. Its small flexible body can stretch to fit almost any shape. You can wrap one around your seat post, handle bar, helmet seatstay or anywhere. We were very pleasantly surprised to see that it wraps easily around the tear dropped shaped seat post on Cervelo Soloist Carbon frames with ease.

Strengths:
The Frog is small and surprisingly bright for a single led in such a tiny package. The silicon body and strap used to mount the light makes it easy to securely attach the unit to a bar, seatpost, helmet or wherever you desire. Knog sells a white led for application in the front and a red led for the rear. The light's body comes in many colors for a customized look.
Weaknesses:
The Frog is a minimalist's blinker/light and would not be appropriate for a roadie who needs to be seen at all times; Knog makes more robust products that would give roadies more visibility. The Frog is also not a "bike light," in that it does not illuminate the area around the bike but rather is designed for others to identify the cyclist.

Bike Setup:
Me on top and bike on bottom.
Bottom Line:
The Frog works well when applied to the right circumstances. I prefer to use the red taillight while mountain biking. It is helpful when riding at night so others on the trails can see me and judge distance without blasting them with too much light. It is so small that it can be kept on the seatpost, which makes it convenient when there is s stretch of gravel road or pavement between trailheads. With the simple button, the light toggles between a steady beam and a blinking pattern. The simple button battery is the same one that is common in bike computers and can be found in most stores that sell batteries.
