I'll be interested in independent tests and reviews.

I wonder how much drag it has when not being used to help propel the bicycle?




Even when propelling there's that issue.

Oh, and see how the guy with the flashing light is SO much safer?!

SCNR.


Had to look at the video a couple of times to see where the flashing light was and which bike it was on.

You should try, since it only serves to weaken your position.


No SMS! That video proves that your flashing bike lights aren't as noticeable as you believe they are.

I think it looks cool (could just be the white tires and
chain setting off the red hub).

Nice, though - still looks like a bicycle - not kludgy.

Don't wait around for Consumer Reports; just go for it!

I have some ocean front property in Greenland that you might be interested in buying.

Great investment.

Well, I guess the "expert" would instantly "fix" this by simply recommending
a much brighter, faster, and more wide-angled flasher.

I was initially trying to find a video indicating if the paint on that
Copenhagenize facility was a contributing factor. But my remark was
basically directed at the relative irrelevance of lighting details when
boldly venturing out in a serious storm...
