Default Break lights turn lights and handle bar lights

Im looking for a few different light kinds.

Break lights that come on when you stop on a bike.


Never seen these. You could fit a microswitch into one or both of your
brake-levers...

Turn signal lights you can use instead of sticking your arm out. Im
not as concerned about looking goofy as much as the difficulty and
risk associated with taking ones hands off the bar and sticking
there arm out.


I've seen these - once - they didn't work very well. But what 'risk'
is there in making a handsignal?

Lights at the end of handle bars for increased side visability


Retro-reflectors in the spokes work extremely well, because the
pattern of movement is extremely distinctive and drivers immediately
recognise a bicycle (reflectors on pedals are good for the same
reason). Sticking extra lights on means more batteries, more weight,
more maintenance and more to go wrong.
