  1. In Wilkinsons right now they are selling their own brand rear lights
    for £2.99, which are absolutely identical to the Smart "kidney" light
    with 3 LEDs. See
    http://www.bunchy.co.uk/bike_Smart-3-LED-3-Function-Rear-Ki_2097.htm
    These are normally around £6.

    They are also selling them at two for £5.00

    Why would anyone want two?

    I suspect there might be the odd household out there with more than one
    bike.

    I always ride with two rear lights, one on me, one on the bike.

    More than one bike?
    Perhaps for a trailer?

    One to flash, one to be on all the time.

    This is what I use.

    I do this also, flash as a distraction, steady so that drivers can vid
    where you are.
    Don't forget to mount them vertically (one above the other).

  10. I got some last year when they reduced them to £1.50 each!!!

    I've had a rear light fall off once, when the bracket broke. I didn't
    hear it fall and so didn't notice until I got home. I was using two
    lights, fortunately, for visibility reasons, but now I always recommend
    having two just in case one fails in some way en route.

    My unicycle has two wheels for just the same reason.

    Have you got the hang of pedalling backwards to ride forwards? I
    haven't, but I've never had much opportunity to practice on a 2-wheeler:
