What? You want your message to be a question to prompt other road users to check if they're
not breaking the law? Hmmm... very cunning, make them feel guilty and they'll behave better. I
like it! :-)

Nahh. Too long.

Well, at least we can be confident the maketting droid that wrote that has never cycled in the UK.
With three light-houses worth of candlepower strapped to the bike, I wouldn't be confident that I'd
definitely be seen. You'd need enough photons that they're burning the paint from the bodywork for
some motorists to see you, I think.

Much, much too long!

Mark, UK. Nobody can be lucky all the time; so when your luck deserts you in some fashion don't
think you've been abandoned in your prime but rather that you're saving up your ration.

The TxFlare programmable safety system is a unique, fun way to make sure that your bicycle is
visible in low light or night time conditions. The seven selectable messages can be seen as long
as your wheel is spinning. With the TxFlare safety system you'll definitely be seen, and your
message will be too.

We have something that looks identical, but with a previous name. It looks like a re-release. The
box says for 20" wheels, so it was going to go on a trike at Christmas. It didn't fit though -
either the person that did the turning speed calculations used 20", and the body designer did 26",
or ICE use an unusual spoke setup on their trikes. It worked well enough on a 26" hybrid.

Software was a basic bit of Visual Basic. Sort of worked on WINE on Linux. Didn't work much better
on Windows, but at least it found the serial port. I was wondering if anyone had worked out the
protocol it used, so I could write a programmer under Linux. As it didn't fit the trike, I've not
looked at it since.

It is heavy enough to unbalance the wheel on the hybrid though. HokeySpokes look like an interesting
alternative, more expensive but would balance on the wheel.

Just things like X-X-X-X-X-X-X or *0*0*0*0*0*0 work well.
