    Looks cool. I like the idea of lighting up the bike itself and currently am using a BIKE GLOW in blue to light me up in the dark. Someone in a car pulled up to me once while going to work, and said he thought I was a motorcycle cop from down the block, as my bike was flashing blue and red. Hmmm... maybe that's a good thing, to have people think for a second, 'Woa, cop!' If it gets their attention, great!

    I might just spring for these, and get one of each color. I just wish they were rechargable, and mounted on a quick release so I could pop them off and take them inside to charge. Been doing that with my front and rear light every day, and charge them USB at my desk at work (Dinotte 300r and Nightrider mininewt 600). I keep trying to stay away from AA blinkies, but these are a great idea if they work well.

    I've had good results using rechargeable AAA batteries in my tail lights and Fiber Flare. Flashing doesn't use much juice, so I only have to recharge once a week or so.

    My SO has several of these, which he uses on his cargo bike. They look really striking. He says the "amber" one isn't very good, but I'm not sure if that's yellow or orange on that page. The other colors are all nice and bright. He uses rechargeable batteries in them.


    (He's always wanted a stoke monkey, but finances haven't allowed. So, I bought him a stuffed monkey (which is actually a gorilla, but whatever) and zip-tied it to the bike under the seat in front of the cargo extender thingy. He's taken the blue one of these and highlights the monkey. He get's "Hey, look, he's got a monkey" yelled at him all the time when he rides at night or dusk.)

    That's hilarious

    I want the blue! Looks very cool.

    These lights do look cool.
