Get Some F**king Lights

I really fancied the woman that created that.

Does the Blaze only protect you against Porsche 928s?

Doesn't seem to matter what lights you use, peds just still step out in front.

It would be good if the actual light was a proper laser.

Indeed

Blaze.cc Magic-Light means you can undertake left indicating at junctions with added moral high ground[1].

1. Useless when the car left hooks you anyway and leaves you dead/dribbling.
   

Someone was riding behind me with one of those tonight, fuck are they ever obnoxious. You look at the picture and imagine a nice static image of a bike, but obviously the shit's flying all over the place as the knob moves their handlebars so now you've got this bright green thing moving all around the periphery of your vision...it's pretty disorienting/distracting

tl;dr just buy normal lights and don't look like a dumbass

edit: holy shit it costs 125 quid hahahahahhaha

I had to look at the date of the post as I thought it was an April fool's prank.

I remember watching that advert on telly, a very long time ago.

^^that's almost as cheezy as the 'Kids guide to the internet' song ...

Love the bit where the kid takes a paintbrush to his bike.

That blaze thing is on some hire bikes. What a crock.

It's getting rolled out to all of the hire bikes

Although it is quite handy to know that you're about to be undertaken by a clueless fucker who last rode a bike in Center Parcs. Back in the day I remember everyone on a hire bike seemed to ring the bell every other second. This is like the visual equivalent.

To say I saw one of those blaze things yesterday would be barely accurate. Instead I noticed a vague green shimmer on the road. I was a walkenger and was completely non plussed by the shape that was utterly indistinct.

Do we have to be pixelated as well?

It would definitely help in the case of 'might is right' driver attitudes.

Last night I told a bloke his rear light was so bright it was blinding everyone behind him.

He said he'd just got it for Christmas and would check it when he got home.

I felt like a bit of a dick mentioning it but my eyes were really hurting.

/csb

Think this will do?

This thread is once again relevant.

Yeah, because with Dynamo lights, lights and calling out bad cyclists threads already we're clearly short of threads on these matters.

Also we had blaze laser chat on the cycle hire thread.

I'm off to chat lumens in the footy thread.

I'm off to chat lumens in the footy thread.

With floodlight failures due to Asian betting syndicates.

Looks like we're in the summer period of people thinking that they don't need lights. It seems like there are twice as many people without lights as with at the moment.

I really liked my fibre flare many years ago. Is there anything comparable on the market nowadays?

Seeing as this thread revived, anyone got a spare/no longer needed mount for a fenix bc21r I have infuriatingly misplaced mine and seems that it is not possible to buy a spare and is resisting my attempts to hack/bodge a sensible alternative.
