In addition to having one on the front and back of my helmet, I use them for my dogs when I take them out at night. They are highly visible and almost indestructible...the dogs swim with them, chase the ball and slide on the ground with these fantastic little lights. Planet Bike has a whole new market to sell them.<br /><br />wayne w methnerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-10734904016023695922009-12-04T07:49:07.132-08:002009-12-04T07:49:07.132-08:00They are the entry button into Amazon to buy a who...They are the entry button into Amazon to buy a whole host of weird things like towels so that you can get some coin for TDD next year.<br /><br />Hasten slowly.Liefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10146334552318724149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-60893586719336895932009-12-02T15:47:42.973-08:002009-12-02T15:47:42.973-08:00I have been using my white light as a "desk l...I have been using my white light as a "desk lamp" on handlebar to light my cue sheet for organized rides. Only problem is I miss the helmet lamp to look for road signs. sigh.Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088307847103043150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-6161400059871055682009-12-01T21:46:20.694-08:002009-12-01T21:46:20.694-08:00I just had three of these show up from Planet Bike...I just had three of these show up from Planet Bike to be awarded as prizes in the winter/dark bike photo contest I am running (with GoMeansGo). Each of three winners gets a set of 3 Planet Bike lights and a BikeGlow. <br /><br />They are indeed cool little lights, and Planet Bike is indeed a cool company.<br />http://www.bikejuju.com/darkdaysBikejujuhttp://www.bikejuju.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-30639859681322676702009-12-01T19:37:21.351-08:002009-12-01T19:37:21.351-08:00Years ago, I kicked Zefal products out of my bike ...Years ago, I kicked Zefal products out of my bike shop because of the offensive sexist imagery in their advertising. I wrote to the main bike trade publication about this issue, saying that there are so many positive things to say about cycling without using racist, sexist, homophobic or violent language or imagery. I challenged all manufacturers to raise the bar in their promotions. With their needlessly sexualized ads with images of half-naked cartoon women to the wish-it-was-cleverly-captioned voyeristic pseudolesbian-in-public photo you linked to, Knog LOWERS the bar so much that it's lying in a trench somewhere. Sad and lame at best, and at worst, downright dangerous because it contributes to desensitization to violence against women. Obviously I dont sell Knog stuff as a result. I also think their products are crap, but that's another issue entirely.Olybikeshttp://www.olybikes.comnoreply@blogger.com
