Anyone heard/seen/tried one ?
Some weeks back, I did se a lady cyclist who was wearing ankle lights, and have to say she was really visiable.

The reviews on wiggle seem decent (except one), might be worth a punt .
The photo on the Nathan website makes it look far better than the Wiggle one .... but which is most realistic :roll:

I just clipped the usual leds to a reflective ankle bandOrganising the Bradford Kids Saturday Bike Club at the Richard Dunn Sports Centre since 1998

I've got the LED bands that Aldi sold earlier in the year. They work very well at making me more visible0

I got this and think it is superb. Wear it on outside (right) leg, with reflective strip on left leg, but might get one for left leg too.

A colleague passed me on the way home last week in his car on a dark unlit lane when I was wearing mine, and reported back to me next day that they really do make me visible to approaching traffic. He also added that I looked like a bit of a numpty, but that doesn't bother me.
What is noticeable now it's dark is that the amount of room I'm given by passing motorists has increased enormously, now that I'm effectively a UFO on dark roads with these solid & flashing rear lights and flashing red ankle things.0 -

I agree with the room I am getting. Really noticed it today, nothing came close at all. Either drivers have got sense at last, or they think someone on Maryhill Road at 7am, lit up like a xmas tree is likely to be slightly unhinged, maybe full of the Buckie, or worse still full of disco biscuits and on way home from a rave.
The one or two drivers I pulled up ahead of at ASL and turned round to look at them sat blankly staring ahead, with no looking at me at all.... no eye contact.... might get a few of these too, just to see some reaction:"Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0 -

+1 had mine over a year now, very good for hand signals in the dark. Range do similar thing and I think I have seen them in Tescos as well.
How big and useful is the little zip pockt ?0 -
Ok, thanks that is kinda the feed back I as looking for.
I think I am going to order some.0
