Here is a great gift for the bicyclist in your life. It’s a Blinking Bike Tail Light that can be seen up to a mile away.

Last year, I made a determination to bike the 15 miles to work one day. I quickly found that New York roads and New York drivers weren’t exactly bicycle-friendly. At least two times, I nearly got sideswiped by trucks. I also nearly rode off the road because the shoulder of the road was crumbling.

Let’s just say it was something of a miracle that I didn’t end up as roadkill.

What’s nice about this flashing light is that it’s hard to miss. The flashing pattern is unique, and catches the eye. It’s durable, and will survive falling off the bike without shattering in a million pieces.

Best thing about it–25% of funds go to bike advocacy. The world needs more bikers, and bike-friendly roads. I always find it funny how people will pay $50 for a tank of gas, pay $50 to join the gym. Why not kill two birds with one stone–leave the car in the garage, bike to work, and get a free workout?

This tail light is sold by Planet Bike through Amazon.Com.
