Effective gadgets for side visibility?

Yeah, I heard about that too.

I did actually follow a guy (we both on bikes) who had the most mesmerising dancing coloured lights thing dangling off his saddle, I asked and it was from a wheel-pattern-light thing. It was a bit distracting but it's probably safer to be seen?

:( my Ledus lights still haven't arrived yet, ordered last monday as soon as they came back in stock.

Ledus Wheelus arrived yesterday :)
very cutely packaged, handwritten note and personalised envelope

Would be interested to see some pics of it in action - from the site, the PCB looks fully exposed to weather? Is there a rain cover - or will you silicone it?

I went to look at getting some and they were sold out :-( will try again soon though :)

As I said above, I've run mine all winter, sorry summer, and it's been fine. The battery connections are exposed and could probably do with a wipe but it really is built for the outdoors!

sorry if ive been out too long, but when i was last cycling regular at night, the 'new' LED type light were only meant as an addition to your propper lights, the type like a torch with good bulbs that actualy put light on the road.

I used to ride on roads that even with the good LED lights now you would need two sets, are they ok on their own now?

There are LED lights out their that put out more lumens than car headlamps, just gotta shop around and pay the price. I recommend also checking out this thread

Thats a good thread, but yeah should have been clearer, im talking about the blinking stuff you can buy just about anywhere including various £1 shops, they are just meant as additions not to be used alone??

They're only safety lights, not meant to improve what you see, but make you more visible to other road users.

Good or not, i see alot of people with only those on the front, not great.

I'm surprised that the Peter storm jacket with a seam down the arm that lights up was not taken up by cycle jacket makers, my son has one that we bought a few years back for my daughter, it has a battery holder for 2x aa's and it can be on perminent or flashing, goes from the sholder to the cuff on both arms.

what are you putting on the display?

er, I just switched it on? I guess it's on shuffle, it slowly shifts through a few patterns. I haven't got around to connecting it to a computer yet.

If you check out the web site patterns mine is the New Model Army stuff.

Mk1 is Bollox Mk2 is better

I like NMA. They fucking rock!

Small children seem to be more wowed than adults however.

That's because small kids like bike bling. Playing card and a clothes peg on the back wheel anyone?

Can we say fuck?

Yes... Edit reason.

I have 3 designs in the anonymous pattern library on their site not, can anyone guess which ones (hint: they're near the top)

well, that dint work

eheh.

Most definitely did not.

was supposed to be image of one of HB's...

has some good reflective on front and back

the strips down the arms are some sort of fibre optic, can be on all the time or flashing, they are actually a vivid green.
i cant find an adult size one though and i think they have stopped making the kids ones?

this guy takes it to a new level

I wonder if people have had epileptic seizures looking at that thing.
