Flashing lights are illegal in a lot of states. For that reason they aren't allowed in the Brevet series and some organized double centuries also forbid their use. We're planning on doing a night 200 K in July. We have to get the non flashing lights. Bummer is that they are also more expensive.

Now for commuting use - would a cop pull you over and ticket you? I suppose it depends on how seriously it's enforced in your area. If I were commuting I'd be lit up like a Christmas Tree.

Hokey spokes are legal though.
