Rear bike lights 🔦🚲

Bicycle rear lights are an essential safety accessory designed to improve the visibility of cyclists when riding in poor lighting conditions or at night. These compact and lightweight devices are usually attached to the back of the bike, either directly on the seat post or on a rear rack. Tail lights come in a variety of designs and styles, but most often feature bright LED lights that emit a strong, focused beam of light.

Why is it important to use rear lights on a bicycle?

Increased safety: Rear lights significantly improve your visibility for motorists and other cyclists, reducing the risk of accidents.
Legal compliance: In many countries, it is a legal requirement to have a working rear light when riding a bicycle in low light conditions.

How to use bicycle rear lights correctly?

Attach it to the bike: Tail lights are typically mounted on the seat post or rear rack of the bike using straps, clamps, or brackets.
Activate the light: Most tail lights have a simple on/off button or switch, others may offer different lighting modes.
Angle adjustment: Make sure the tail light is positioned so that it can be seen from different angles to achieve maximum visibility.

What types of tail lights are available?

Standard tail lights: These are basic tail lights that emit a steady beam of light and are suitable for most everyday cycling situations.
Flashing tail lights: These lights emit a flashing or strobe pattern that increases visibility and attracts the attention of motorists.
Pulsating tail lights: These lights alternate between bright and dimmed modes, creating a pulsating effect that further increases visibility.
Rechargeable tail lights: These lights are equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery and can be easily charged using a USB cable.
Smart tail lights: These lights often come with additional features such as built-in sensors and radars, Bluetooth connectivity, or the ability to be controlled via a smartphone app.

What parameters to consider when choosing rear lights for a bicycle?

Luminosity: The luminosity of the rear light determines its luminous flux and visibility, and is measured in lumens. A higher number of lumens generally provides better visibility.
Battery life: The amount of time the tail light can operate before requiring recharging or battery replacement.
Light modes: Different tail lights offer different lighting modes, such as steady, flashing or pulsating, allowing you to select the most suitable option for your needs.
Water resistance: Some tail lights are designed to be water-resistant, which allows them to withstand rain or water.
Mounting options: Tail lights can come with a variety of mounting options to accommodate different bike builds and setups.

Only one detail bothers me. The website states that shipping over ‘99 is free. But even though I shopped over this amount, the shipping was not deducted. It's only a small amount - about ‘2, so I didn't deal with it ... But you could fix this error (probably in the program). Thank you

As with previous purchases, the saleswoman was helpful this time too. The store offers the possibility to measure the distance between the sitting bones on an electronically equipped seat and thus determine the correct saddle size. I used this free service for customers, and the employee attended to me without grumbling.

As always satisfied.

There was/is an error in the description of one of the products, which caused me difficulties. A part necessary for the correct assembly of the device was missing, which essentially shouldn't have been there from the factory, but in the product's properties on the website, it is advertised as included in the package. After an agreement with technical support, we resolved this issue; they were very accommodating and fully met my requirements. I can definitely only rate positively, I recommend this store.
