Bought it mail order from the maker. Have not seen the light for sale anywhere for years. Lost the light when the bike was stolen. Would buy another if I could find it. Also had a camping lantern with a 6" fresnell lens taped to my handlebars. People thought I was a car with one headlight out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852171.post-39995434764671904212008-09-25T10:07:00.000-06:002008-09-25T10:07:00.000-06:00I'd like to send you some money to buy this poor w...I'd like to send you some money to buy this poor woman some training wheels so that she can actually learn to ride a bike. If she could actually ride a bike, then she would not have to be so embarrassed that she only trains in the dark so no one can see her.

When I lived in the snowbelt, I wanted to be misidentified as a snowplow -- lots of flashing strobe lights everywhere.

Doesn't identify me as a cyclist - but inspires observers to figure out what I am.

Upon looking at the photo slide show on the site, my first reaction was that the problem at hand could be solved much more simply and cheaply by simply avoiding use of a turbo-trainer on the street at night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852171.post-87833454940422407352008-09-19T04:07:00.000-06:002008-09-19T04:07:00.000-06:00This is an interesting idea.
