ECOutlet's green bike lights for safe winter cycling
There's nothing I'd like better than a spot of cycling right now (though possibly not in this morning's drizzle), but unfortunately my shiny new electric bike *still* hasn't arrived from Urban Mover. I ordered it in the summer time, but it's still not here, and it's probably safe to say that the summer is now well and truly over. Personal bike gripes aside, those of you lucky enough to own a bike will probably be turning your thoughts to the imminent clock change on the 28th October.
ECOutlet has done a nice post on its company blog to advertise its range of eco-friendly bike lighting. First up, their new Micro Bike Lights have been designed by the supreme Trevor "wind-up" Bayliss. One minute of winding provides 90 minutes of illumination, which should be more than enough to get you home and back. .
Alternatively, there's always the Pedalite kinetically powered lights (£38.95). Replace your normal pedals with these Pedalite ones and you get 360 degrees of light. LEDs flash white to the front, red to the rear and amber to the side, using power created as you pedal.
Finally, the magentically-powered Goodbye Batteries (£24.95) are apparently "excellent for night-time visibility on your bike". The LED lights work using the power generated by magnets attached to your bicycle spokes, allowing you to work like a one-man power station. We reviewed these ones back in 2005 without much success.
All in all, the perfect way to light your eco-friendly way home - though you may well end up being a source of some serious light pollution if you opt for all three...
