from Sunnyvale, CA, USA Date Reviewed: March 26, 2011 Strengths: This is the best light on the market for any cyclist riding on the road. Sure, we need bright headlights to see where we are going, but more important for both day and night use, we need to make sure that cars see us and they are always driving faster and approaching from behind. This light produces light both out the back as well as to the side, which is very important to make sure that drivers approaching you from any angle can clearly see the super bright light. When riding home from work, I always hear cars slow down or change lanes to give me more room, exactly what I want. Battery life is great, I've never run low or out of juice, and the best part is that I can charge the light at work using a standard usb cable hooked up to the computer. The design is also beautiful as it fits directly behind the seat post for an elegant look that can't be seen from the front, aerodynamic. And it can be angled perfectly perpendicular to the road, locking in place to direct the light straight back. It's also made of metal and feels rugged without being heavy, which should last much better than cheap plastic blinkys. Weaknesses: none Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: Bicycle Outfitters i Similar Products Used: other cheap blinky which didn't last too long and wasn't bright enough. Bike Setup: Trek 2.3 road bike used for daily commuting to work
