Not a week seems to pass when we don’t hear about a bike light of some sort, and this week comes the Blink/Steady, a bike light that features a small unobtrusive design and yet seems to be secure enough that it would be a hassle to try stealing. It attaches through a set post to deter would-be thieves.
It also takes the concept of simplicity to a new level. It has no buttons and instead a built-in accelerometer rsponds to the 1.5G of acceleration. When the rider stops for more than 30 seconds it shuts off – plus a photosensor is included to tell whether it is night or day and turn on only when it is needed. The Blink/Steady is currently a Kickstarter project but this one could hopefully see the light of day or better yet the dark of night and light the way.
