AngryJackPCB Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Anyone ever think of wearing these when riding at night. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074N5HGHT/ref=twister_B074N87MD8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I got tired of near misses by cars. There aren't many bike paths around where I live so I'm forced to ride on the road with traffic. I also wear this due to near misses. https://www.amazon.com/chaleco-seguridad-reflectante-visibilidad-cremallera/dp/B07DC1F7J4/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=Reflective+vest&qid=1599175784&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExVjM1SFBCODFLMk9HJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjYzMjQxMkpFVkJGOTBPVlYzVSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTQxMTgyT1JFRVJOQTkyOVFUJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsnapper Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 dont think those would be that visible to cars given the lights are so low. Why not wear a long string of LED lights as a crossbody X? You can even hook the string into your vest permanent like. and if you dig micro-controllers you can use a microbit and programmable rgb string to program some cool animations - even ones that are driven by motion and acceleration. rabbit hole though as you will stop riding and start spending lots of time building different light effects... very fun though!

Tryptych Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Interesting idea, let us know if you end up trying them - the reviews make it sound like they aren't very durable. If you like the vest and ride in traffic a lot you might like this:https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07VPG1YGQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And here are the cheapest & brightest lights you can buy (super bright!), nobody will miss you with 1 or more of these on you:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32917144725.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.2ed44c4dW6IM54 I am using one on my wheel and one on my backpack, and I ordered two more because they are so good & cheap - at night you can see me for miles and miles. Lastly, use a bunch of these on your wheel, your backpack, your helmet:https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B084WN1F97/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
