Oddbean new post about login | logout Bike lights. Flashing or steady? (Or maybe you have fancy lights that pulse rather than flash or something other sort of option?) #bikes (?) what's the hashtag here lol
My lights have the option to flash or be steady. #cycling
Might don't. I believe it's because they are from somewhere in Europe where flash is not allowed maybe. I kind of think flashing might work better in cities. I have no idea tho. Maybe both are fine 🤔
Yeah could be. There was a time when LED lights were not allowed in the UK. Then flashing lights were not allowed. I think both are accepted now. I used to know about this many moons ago as a trained bicycle mechanic but now not up-to-date with the current light laws of the UK. Personally, as a motorist and a cyclist, I prefer flashing lights - it distinguishes a cyclist from a car/motorbike. A reflective top/vest is important for dark roads too. It’s all about being seen. However, that all changes if you actually want to light your way ahead (need more specialist lights for that).
On trail, flashing On road, steady #Cycling
Trelock LS 950 you can find it on eBay. I've been using it since 2017. Bought a second one just in case. II cycle all year round. Whether it's snow, rain or sunshine. So far I've only had good experiences with this light.
no flashlights, pls they are so annoying
I just want what is the most visible light mode to alert a driver, there's a lot of dopey people out there.
