One of my pet peeves as a motorist is when I'm driving at night and I see biking enthusiasts riding without lights. My irritation is heightened when they are riding on the wrong side of the road.
Really, this stems from my own fear, fear that I could hit someone on a bike because I won't see them, and fear that I could suffer the same fate while on a bike.
I may be a little overzealous in my bike lighting, but my goal is to be seen. I want to make it to STP!
I purchased some microlights from Knog—the Frog, if you will. Visually it is kind of reminiscent of a frog. It's small and could go unnoticed on a bike, depending on the color you get. And, although they are mini, they pack a punch to the dark (see above photo). I bought one a few years ago and gave it away. The latest version is even better. Knog offers a large spectrum of colors to spruce up your ride.
These little chameleons have two light settings—disco-tech flash or the steady Got-You-in-my-Laserbeams bright. They can be purchased with white lights (for the front of you bike) or red (for the back end).
If you are into packaging details at all you will find a little "night owl" on the plastic container. Cute, eh?
PLEASE NOTE: We are not paid for our product reviews. We don't get free products. This is me just raving about something I've found that I like and passing it on. Of course, if you want to send us free stuff, we aren't above reviewing those items . . . but we will tell our readers if we get something free.
