Hi all
iv just recently got my carrera Vulcan and im wanting to cycle to work on it soon but 1st i want some rear lights that have indicators and a lane laser beam thing.
this is the best thing iv found so far but im sure you cycling experts can point me in the right direction for better ones. as this only has 5 reviews so not sure weather to trust it or not - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beatease-Wirel ... YNTACMA665
thank you hope somebody can help?

Don't bother. Bikes aren't wide enough for indicators to work and nobody is looking for them. Use normal signals.0

Don't bother with indicators for reasons mentioned above.
I would suggest gloves with reflective patches on them to indicate turn direction.
Also though nothing to do with turning, I would suggest a pair of reflective ankle bands as one of the best ways to be seen at night https://www.cyclesurgery.com/p/respro-h ... colour=1890 -
I see a lot of lane lights in London and have to agree with others, they seem pretty useless. At least the ones I've seen. My recommendation would be a good rear light like Moon Shield. Very small and very strong light.

Don't rely on indicators. You still have to physically check and look before you manoeuvre.0

oo sothe blaze light itself is good but bad bracket0

Not what I took from it. I've seen the lights on the Boris bikes. I liked the idea but I don't think it works in the real world.0

ah i see the light itselfis ok but the projector light is gimmick and doesnt work in wet0

The best reflective ankle bands I have seen so far are Maximum Nighttime Visibility Reflective Ankle Bands
Pair it with Decathlon's Kalenji retro-reflectve running glove and you're all set.0 -
Just get decent front and rear lights. Indicators / projecting lights are useless gimmicks that people who don't cycle in traffic think sound useful. People should know you are about to move left or right because you have shoulder checked, indicated and assumed the appropriate position in the road. If they haven't spotted any of that then they haven't seen you, and a light isn't going to help.0
