About Planet Bike
In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. 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, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-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 ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their 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.
Sports reviews of Planet Bike Blinky Safety 1-Led Bicycle Light Set
Customer Review: Great Deal for Great Light Set!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
First of all... the main product picture on this page is not a picture of what you get, which is weird. The picture was correct when I purchased it, but now it's changed. Be sure to look at the customer images that someone else has supplied to see what you're REALLY getting!
That said, this set of one white front light and one rear red light is GREAT! The price is right and I'm very happy with the product. I didn't use any of the provided hardware to attach them to my cruiser, but it's nice that it came with it as an option.
These little lights are surprisingly bright and will definitely alert cars to your presence. They have both a steady and a blinking setting. The white light illuminates surprisingly well and is totally fine for familiar and easy streets, but it's definitely not comparable to an actual headlight if you really need to SEE where you're going.
I wanted something very small and unnoticeable for my bike because I have the "classic cruiser" look going on, and these little lights make me street-legal without having to compromise the look of my bike. Altogether a great purchase for a great price!
Customer Review: Tiny Lights That Make You Visible
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Don't know what those who dislike these lights expect for 10 bucks, but they deliver quite well, as promised. Note that Planet Bike refers to them as "Safety" lights. No, they don't illuminate (very well) the ground in front of you, BUT they do make a bicycle highly visible from some distance, thus enhancing the cyclist's safety. They are small and lightweight, and easily fit in a pocket when not in use. It's true, as some have complained, that the mounting brackets are somewhat fragile, made of thin plastic, but if you're reasonably careful when you fit them over your bars or tubes you'll have no problem. Cripes people! you get two led lights with 2 settings (constant light or intermittent), 2 mounting brackets with screws for 10 bucks!!! What more do you need to give something 5 stars? So long as you treat them like the tiny, somewhat fragile items which they are, I suspect they will provide years of quality service.Customer Review: Very cool for kids
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Just got these in the mail, so can't speak for battery life, but these are really neat for kids bikes. I have a 5 and 8 year old, and they love these little lights. They are about the size of a small egg... not very big at all, but they really are very bright. The headlight bulb fit perfect on the bike and has 3 modes. Push the button once and it flashes (fast like a strobe light), push the button again and the light stays on, push again and turns off. The head light can also be adjusted up or down. Very easy to install and use. The red light does the same except does not adjust once on the bike. My kids were riding in the garage in the dark today having a blast with these lights! I'd even get one for my own bike, if I rode at night. Very fast shipping also.Customer Review: to blink or not to blink
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
these little blinkies were easy to install and work great. Very bright and wide viewing angle so cars on the side can see you blinking. Choose between flashing, solid on, or off with a small button. Others have complained the button was too small, but I had no problems. Installation was easy, and its feels very sturdy once installed. to change battery, you need to just stick a coin into the side of the plastic covering for the light and it pops off easily. This concerns me on longtime durability, but the price is worth the chance. If you need these lights as headlights to see where you're going, they can suffice somewhat, but a bigger front light may be desired. BATTERIES INCLUDED!Customer Review: For the money you just can't beat them
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I love that Planet Bike gives 25% of it's profits back to the cycling community. I'd buy them for that reason alone. But these also perofrm really well. Fine for urban riding where there are streetlights. easy to install too. I use these blinkies along with a blue a blue down low glowDown Low Glow Lighting Kit - Two Tubes -Ice(blue) and sometimes a green down low glow tooDown Low Glow Lighting Kit - Two Tubes-Envy(green) for night time side visibility.
