Hollywood Lighting Board for Rear Mounted Cycle Carriers

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: None

...In the beginning of my review I need to say: if you, member of your family or a best friend have a bicycle then strongly recommend this rear light as it is mentally bright. Does the job brilliantly and bicycle you will attach it to should be definitely safe. I have got this light myself and am extremely pleased. It's been already over one year since I bought it from Chain Reaction Cycle website for £12 and have not had any accidents at night. Before that, it got used to happen as I leave in London where traffic is quite heave and you never now who is driving behind you. Installation There is a manual attached to this product and is very easy to read. Every single detail how to fit it is described. Attachment itself should not take you longer then 10 minutes. All you have to do is to unpack everything from box, stretch a clamp... Read review

If I'm looking to be picky I'll list this here and now as the only drawback to the light - it's ugly, really ugly. And it's pretty big as well (it has to be, it's powered by four AA batteries), though it managed to fit in between some gear levers and a bell on the bars it was mounted on). But with that out of the way I have to move on to the extensive positives with this light. I bought it because I'd recently convinced my girlfriend to start commuting to work by bike, but the impending dark nights were... Read review

...Apparently, women need men like a fish needs a bicycle. Well, assuming that the fish will be cycling in twilight conditions, it will also be in need of adequate safety equipment, of which a decent front light is an essential part. All of which probably means that women need cycle lights too. On a more serious note, and despite the fact that the days are getting longer, there is probably nothing more important when you are cycling than being seen. I won't rant on endlessly about it - it's just common sense. What I will tell you about is one way in which you can improve your visibility and it comes in the form of the HL-EL 300 from Cateye. Cateye have been making peripherals for bikes for quite some time now and have built up something of a reputation for solid, functional and innovative solutions. They aren't the cheapest...
