Bike Lights & Safety

Being seen and heard is the best protection on a bike. Our bike lights and safety gear solve the everyday problems of riding in traffic and in the dark: a rear light that brightens when you brake, a solar front light with a built-in horn, an LED turn-signal vest, wide-angle mirrors and an electric horn you can't miss.

Front and rear: the lights every bike needs

Most road rules require a white front light and a red rear light when riding at night or in poor visibility. The front light helps you see the road and lets oncoming traffic see you; the rear light is what drivers coming up behind rely on. A USB rechargeable bike light set with a front and a rear light is the simplest way to be covered.

How to choose a bike light

Brightness

For city streets with lighting, 100 to 300 lumens is enough to be seen; on unlit paths, choose a front light with a wider, stronger beam. Rear lights don't need to light the road, but a bright, well-diffused red light is visible from further away.

Battery and charging

USB rechargeable lights save money and batteries. Check the run time of the mode you will actually use: flash modes last much longer than steady light. Solar charging tops up the battery during the day.

Smart features

Brake detection warns drivers when you slow down, and a built-in horn replaces a bell in busy traffic. Features like these solve real problems, not just add gadgets.

Mounting and weather

Tool-free strap mounts make it easy to take lights off when you park. For year-round commuting, look for water resistance such as IP65.

Be seen in daylight too

Daytime running lights in flash mode make cyclists noticeably more visible to drivers, especially in changing light and under trees. Read daytime running lights for cycling, and pair your lights with a helmet with a built-in rear LED.
