I was starting to hear concerns from my spouse about the bike not being visible enough from the side, especially because I love riding at night. I prefer to wear all black (to go with the black bike and that "cool" look) and the idea of wearing a hi-viz vest is something I just don't want to consider. I already have super-reflective black tape on my black helmet and I extended it onto the sides, but that won't help unless a car's headlights hit it more or less directly. By that time that car could already be crashing into me. I needed something that would be visible even from an angle. The Skene lights are great but are primarily visible from the front and rear.
So I decided to go with something I had seen awhile back and always thought was interesting: Lunasee Active Side Lighting. I have it on order and should be receiving it in a few days.
My geeky side kinda likes the "Tron light cycle" vibe of this thing, but I wonder if it's just TOO geeky. At least it has an on-off switch. Take a look at the video and let me know what you guys think, OK? Personally I'm not fond of the "outlaw biker" feel of the video, but at least you get a good idea of what it looks like in operation.
