Front and rear safety lights (blinkies) protect you well in many riding situations. But blinkies are weakest when viewed from the side. Unfortunately, side visibility is the most common cause of nighttime bicycle-car collisions. Every time you approach a turn or an intersection, your side visibility is key to drivers seeing you.
Bike commuting, early morning training, and sunset rides should be inspiring, relaxing, fun and invigorating. And they can be, when you take the right safety measures. To feel relaxed and confident at those intersections, you need to know that drivers from all angles, especially the sides, can see you as early as possible.

Actually, laws vary state by state. We sell a color called Fossilized Amber, which is legal in most states. In California, bicycles are required to have a front white light. Beyond that, additional illumination is allowed, with no specification as to the color.

Well, on bicycles I'm sure it's perfectly legal. But on cars, it's not..well at least not in Texas :)
Again, cool idea!-

Great idea for the mass rider.
Thanks,I'll continue to roll ninja.
No lights.
I have never owned an auto and I cannot rely on the "skill" of drivers today to even see a light, let alone share the road.
Bikers take back the road!
