A BikeGlow update: DH went to re-install his for tomorrow's dark commute, and it won't light up, despite fresh batteries
I think we'll be replacing it with something else...

Lots to learn, but I'll get there.

We must see pictures of your set up! It sounds very festive. I don't have the OEM reflectors, but do have a hub generator & light on the front & a DiNotte taillight that people complain about as being too bright...if they are complaining, then I know they are seeing it. I also have front & rear lights on the helmet. And I agree that I do feel most vulnerable from the side. The helmet light does come in handy...a quick look in the driver's direction generally gets their attention. I'm just tired of having to charge & replace so many batteries. I'd like to get some of those USB chargeable lights.

Wow, Trek, that's an old picture! I'd almost forgotten how the bike used to look!
There's a lot more "stuff" on it now.
I love the reflective tape TE sells. That stuff is bright bright bright.

More lights, more better.

My husband got me the monkey light last year for Christmas, and I LOVE it! I haven't done any of the programming, I just turn it on and let it run random patterns. It's very bright, and I feel a lot better about my side visibility now.
Plus, it's fun to look at.
There is a wait-list for the DownLowGlow.
I'm still torn between the DLG and the Monkeylectric.

Saw this BikeGlow Safety light at REI yesterday.
Has anyone tried it?

DH has one. He's actually on his second one- the first one didn't hold up well, but the very nice people at BikeGlow replaced it with a new one. The newer ones have stronger, better-sealed battery compartments. So far, so good!
The one shown on REI's website appears to be the earlier model, but who knows if that's what they're actually shipping. I posted my general thoughts on it (and on my Fibre Flare) earlier in this thread.
