    Think about it, your head is more visible to drivers than the middle of your tire so having lights up higher might be useful.

    Yeah, definitely like this idea. I was sitting there last night, talking to my bike (like it knew what I was saying) "It doesn't make sense to put a taillight right there.....you are a small bike (XS, actually) and I need something a bit higher up for people to see us........

    Back to the bike shop, after work!

    I hate this problem! Even though I have a slim underseat bag, I still feel like it obscures the light somewhat. And even though my bag has a tab to attach a taillight, it's too bouncy and will only support a small lightweight light.

    People also mount taillights on the rear chainstays, especially the left side. Just make sure the light is still bright and visible at the different angle.

    I got a Planet Bike Blinky 3 taillight. It clips perfectly on my bag!
