    Lightbulb gloves/lights

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I wondered if anyone has run across gloves that have lights along the pinkie finger? I saw someone at an evening ride wearing them, but didn't get a chance to ask if they'd purchased them or if they were home-made. Pretty cool idea...

    Thanks--

    no ma'am - but as a bike commuter that has to cross heavy traffic at 3 seperate pts on my ride home I would be VERY interested in ANything that'll be seen from the side!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    I've seen similar apparel for motorcyclists, which would also work for cyclists. There are even fancy lights for jackets that can link to your turn signaling system and blink a light on your left or right shoulder depending on which way you're going.

    Glo-gloves

    Many bike commuters use glo-gloves over their cycling gloves to increase the visibility of their hand signals at night. They are widely available on the net and at industrial and traffic safety supply stores. repasting original link

    try again

    here is another Sorry the 1st didn't work for you. I suppose I should add that only police are supposed to use the red octagon palm patch, the rest of us can have the yellow/green triangle repeated on the palm.
