The good city of Portland has profuse bike-friendly streets yet I can not help but fear for the welfare of my bicycle in the after hours. After all, it gets around too often as I swing from university to the bookstore where I make a living.
Himself an alumnus of my college, the bookstore owner stays to close it up and once depended on bicycle safety lights. He wondered why I never got any to provide me with personal travel safety.
To add visibility to riding late at night is what bicycle safety lights do. He raised a good point that had not dawned on me before. There are those that increase personal travel safety by emitting a danger alert in case of emergency.
Surfing web sites led me to the Micro Bike Lights comprising front and rear safety lights that shift from steady to flashing. That the bungee and curved interior can attach fittingly to the seat post, bicycle structure or handlebars appealed to me.
It turns into a flashlight when you disengage the bicycle head light I spotted from its simple to manage mounting bracket on handlebars. Ultra bright LEDs are fitted into this personal travel safety gadget, likewise, with flashing and steady features.
Illuminating end to end of 180 degrees is a bicycle tail light that I paid attention to next. It is surely going to make my conveyance noticeable, complete with 5 extra bright LEDs and a steady or flashing selector.
With any of the three, my personal travel safety is assured as the light can be detected from all of one mile away. Bungees would hold even in rough circumstances and their gleaming LEDs can last as much as 100,000 hours.
At SE Lincoln, an intoxicated driver was fast closing in on me but I had procured bicycle safety lights by then. After catching my copiously lit bicycle from afar, he made a reflex action of turning away and hit a lamp post. Luckily, I was unharmed.
