Comments about Planet Bike Blinky 1 Rear Bike Light:

Inexpensive doesn't mean cheap. This light is great for the casual rider at night. It has two functions, a steady red light, or a flashing red light. The battery life is great, it is easily visible despite it's small size, and you can fit it on virtually any bike. This was a great buy, and I am happy to ride safely at night with this little Blinky red light!

Small and light weight

Night commute

Comments about Planet Bike Blinky 1 Rear Bike Light:

Planet Bike makes some really good lights and the best blinker out there which is the Planet Bike Super Blinky. This little light is small and light weight and the holder is made mainly for the handle bar. But it takes a non-standard "N" battery which is harder to find and cost more than AA's or AAA's, which can be had for 25 cents a piece at the 99 cent store. Stick with the other lights that take AA's or AAA's.

Rear safety light

Comments about Planet Bike Blinky 1 Rear Bike Light:

design is nice and simple, but the on button is exposed, so if you remove it for security reasons (ie, place it in your messenger bag so it doesn't get stolen), the unit will switch on accidently leaving you with possibly no light to use if it gets dark. the best part of that is the batteries are N type. what the hay (they won't allow me to use the other acronym)? that was my bad not noticing. I use rechargeables, so this is basically lame. Don't make the mistake I made. Also, the arm that the unit slides into is very thin plastic. My last light was stronger and less exposed and it still broke.
