    that's pretty cool and a great price!! I've discovered that I don't really need many lights because it's not pitch black when I ride to work in the winter (yay because I don't have to worry about darkness, but boo because there's lots of cool lights out there).
    I think I'll have to get one regardless!

    Those are trick, and pretty

    Now I wonder if that blue matches the shade of my frame, tires, handlebar tape and bottle cages.

    Very very cool indeed!

    I wonder what color would be best visibility-wise....

    I usually turn on my lights when it is dim, at twilight or even when it is just cloudy. So that's your excuse to get pretty lights!

    I like the way you think Melalvai! I use lights in the morning because it's dawn, but a girl could *always* use more lights...

    The Down Low Glow folks (and this looks like a little DLG) found that green was the most visible color to drivers.

    The Fibre Flare people said the same thing. Makes sense to me....those neon green fire trucks have been shown to be more visible than red ones. Same idea.

    That is what I wanted to know! Thanks!
