Yeah, I’ll admit – I don’t run them on my road bike. Why? ‘Cause it’d look like a fred.
But I completely love them on the trailer, the bike I use to pull the trailer, and the bike I used to use to commute.
Why?
First – oooh, shiny.
Second – they work. Hard to believe that a couple of ounces of plastic can make as big a difference in making a bike visible at dusk or dawn, but they do.
Third – They’re completely passive – you’re stealing light from the cagers, all in the name of making them see you.
Lastly – oooh, shiny.
A fred? Ok, what’s a fred?
