Sports reviews of Planet Bike Blinky "3" 3-Led Rear Bicycle Light

Customer Review: Good Visibility, Great for Rainy Weather
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I bought my first Planet Bike blinky rear light about a year and a half ago. Living in a rainy climate, and commuting every night in the dark home from work, I really put the light to the test. It stood up to the rain and stayed bright for about a year (of daily use) before I had to replace the batteries. I was really pleased with it! Everything I've gotten from Planet Bike has been of really good quality, and this holds true for the red blinky light.

Several of my friends that I bike with also have the same light, so I know from seeing it on their bikes how visible it is when viewed from behind. I feel pretty confident when I use it, knowing I'm much easier to see by motorists on the road.

Another good feature is how easy it is to take the light off of the mount by pushing a little tab on it (though it snaps securely in place so there's no risk of it falling off when biking). Handy when you're parking your bike in public and want to make sure it doesn't get stolen. You can just pop it off and put it in your bag or coat pocket. This has also been handy when I have a crate on my rear bike rack full of groceries, obscuring the light attached to my seat stem. I can just pop it off and slip it on to one of my back pack pockets so the light is visible. Very versatile.

When I recently misplaced my first red blinky, I went straight back to Amazon for another one of the same.

Great price, visible, good in the rain, and from a nice company--exactly what I wanted in a light.

About Planet Bike
In November 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, WI. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.

Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.

Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high-quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, the company strives to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short 10-year history, it has made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the four-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that 10 years ago started as a one-man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve its product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.
