Notify drivers and other cyclists of your presence from up to 1 mile away with the Planet Bike Blinky safety set. Equipped with one super-bright white LED for the front and a red LED for the back, the safety set provides 220 degrees of visibility in both flashing and steady modes, depending on your preference. Even better, the Blinky lights clip to just about anything--from handlebars to panniers--with handlebar brackets, a seat post mount, and a seat stay mount to get you started. As a result, you have no excuse to go unseen while riding. Each Blinky light, which comes with an ultra-compact weatherproof case, runs for up to 100 hours on a single CR2032 watch battery (included). The set is also backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
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: they do what they need to
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
These little guys are great. It's very easy to attach the bracket that hold the lights. They attach and detach quickly. I've been using them for about 2 months for commuting in NYC and the lights are still very bright. If you're looking for a front light that will actually light your way for you, this in not the product. These are simply to let others know you are there. Also, I paid double the amazon price at a local bike shop and they are still very much worth the price.
Customer Review: Does exactly what it is mean to
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
They are cheap and work great. That is pretty much all there is to these. However, make sure that you are buying these in order to make yourself more visible to drives, and not to make late night rides more visible to you. They do offer some light on your pathway, but not enough to make it worth it if that is your goal. If, like me, you are simply looking for an inexpensive way to keep from getting hit by drivers at night, then this is one of your best choices.Customer Review: I like them for kids bikes
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought 2 sets for my kid's bikes. They are small, which goes very well with kids' bikes. They are very bright! Very easy to install. I wanted something to make the bikes more visible if/when my kids ride them in the late afternoon. Plus, I know they will enjoy riding their bikes even more with these flashing lights on them!Customer Review: I love blinky light!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I wanted a simple, easy to install set of lights for my bike. I commute to and from work everyday on some busy city streets. The blinky lights were a snap to put on and you can't beat the price. The lights don't provide any illumination, but the flash feature certainly attracts attention.
Big thumbs up.
Customer Review: Just what we needed
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought two sets, one for my husband and one for myself. We wanted them to be more visible to cars while biking after dark, and since front and back lights on bicycles are required by law in NYC (which most people here probably don't realize). These are small yet powerful. Perfect for our needs.
