Whether you use your bicycle to commute or ride on the weekends through canyon roads, safety should always be at the forefront of any cyclists mind. From helmets that protect your head to bicycle navigation systems that will guide you to your destination safely, it’s important to prepare yourself for any unfortunate instances. Things get especially tricky in inclement weather or at night, making it difficult for traffic and pedestrians to see you. There are bicycles with integrated lights, but most bicycles merely rely on reflectors, if they even have any.
For those without any safety lights built into their bicycles, the Fabric FLR30 is an attachable bicycle brake light that you can attach onto the seat post or frame of your bike. The 30 lumen LED assures that your bike is visible to traffic and pedestrians, even when visibility is poor. It’s clever use of an accelerometer increases its brightness as speed falls, so it can alert traffic when you intend to slow down or stop. The FLR30 also has a IPX5 water proof rating, so you can ride in damp conditions, and can be charged via USB for up to 10 hours of use.
