Helment light instead of a flag.

I am advocate of turning on your flashing lights in the daytime it helps you stand out. I just found
one which mounts on your helmet. On my recumbent, it stands about sedan driver level. I hope SUV
driver look down. On a tadpole trike, it is about SUV bumper level. I am not sure if a flags does
that much.

I also feel that manufactures should offer the option of a florescent yellow mesh seat rather than
black. A black dot in the distance does not stand out as much as a yellow dot.

 

Nah Stick a Mirror on your backrest and save your batteries. When their Hi-beams hit you, you hit
them...sorta speak...hmm may be a flaw in this one. How about just taping 3M Yellow Reflecto-strips
to your backrest.

Not this one.....http://www.securityduka.com/higsaflig.html

I have other riders that overtake me tell me that they see the light LOOOONG before they see me, and
this is in broad daylight under a blistering south Texas sun.

You're right Jerry. I have one of these and it is the only tail light that I know of that is visible
during daylight. It would cause terrible neck strain if used on a helmet, though. Dan Kluckhuhn
