Those are the dumbest bike gadgets I think I've ever seen. Be perfect for those whose cruise with
blacklighted Hyundai's after a hard ride on the sidewalk.

Though some may deride them, I've been on more than a few group night rides where I was wishing that
the folks in front of me had someting like these.

Probably, but on the back, where they don't actually have to _work_, they'd be pretty good as brake
lights (which I believe was the original idea) to stop nutters from crunching into you when you slow
down or stop.

Hell, I wish my kids' bikes had brake lights AND turn indicators.

Years back I ordered my husband some roller blade brakes that threw a big rooster tail of sparks. It
gave a sort of Wile E. Coyote/Acme Rocket Skate effect that was truly funny to see. Impressed the
heck out of the neighborhood kids...

I think something like that, only for bikes, would be cooler than a light (except maybe in hilly
terrain during very dry weather).

I guess, wouldn't a blinkie be more visible and useful, or just stop riding with people who run into
you would be an option.

In a group of evenly paced singlespeeds, knowing when the chango in front of you has brabbed a
handful of brake lever can be useful information in momentum management.

Don't get me wrong, these pad are silly and kitschy, but amidst that there is a nice unintended
consequence of singlespeed usefulness.

I quite agree!

Although somewhat silly on a MTB they might be a good accessory for a commuter bike. Of course my
commuter has coaster brakes, but one with V's might do well with these.

Fvcking Stupid! What kind of idiot doesn't know when his/her brake pads are worn?

Someone put a dagger in the Hype Machine!

Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind
should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.
