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 band

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

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.

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:

+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 ?

I think I am going to order some.
