Last month - visited Krissi.

I was greeted with an immediate parading of her riding her bicycle around me - declaring that this was next best thing to a Christmas tree :rotfl:


OK .. what she had fixed to her bicycle was an array fo twinking Led lights in 12 different colours :yikes: They are made by Knog - and look like FROGS! :lol: They are made out of silicon and have a bendy hoop which fixes them to the bars and around the seat.

CW this week awards these lights 10/10 as bright .. effective.. easy to chnage bulbs/batteries and so far these have run trhoughout the winter for their testers.


They cost £7 each and quite effective .. 12 colours - you can get them to match the bike :wink:


On a related basis CW advises cyclists to chck lights and if the light is dimming AT THE END OF THE RIDE - to change the battery.

I'm 50/50 on over decorating your bike with lights. Being too much of a distraction can be as bad as being not visible I reckon.

The Not very "tame" feline of Yorkshire rides her bike dressed in fishnet tights .. a recycled :wink: twinkly sparkly top which was once her "cocktail dress",###.. has a set of lupines front and rear and now the Frog lights. I hear she also attached them to her horse... The horse apparently objected and chucked Krissi into a ditch :hehe:

Yup, see a lot of these around London, generally on messengers or "fakengers" (people who like to look like messengers).

But if a cyclist shows he or she lit.. the nasty driver has not much of a get out clause ;wink:

I would use one Frog light. Krissi . though . :lol: She's even zanier than Wildy but I stil love her. for the vitality . the bubbly cheerfulness. and the commitment to rod safety.

That parade around me on her bike sporting all TWELVE colours and her giggles .. contagion :yikes: :lol: She was dazzling/. full of mirth. mocking Cunobelint :rotfl: as she circled around me.. and her riding was skilled and slick. That woman would entrall on stage. I did not film it. I wish I had. She was just so graceful on the eye ./as if in a ballet :lol: But I suppose just Krissi. "on form for family". :lol;

But then after that . the Swiss have fallen in love.

So IF you see a cyclist wittjh 12 frogs/.. it will be them Swiss :rotfl':

But you can choose.

I have Lupines

Front/rear

I have a frog light for pure fun.

But my one frog light is so cute . that I think he is more effective than the lupines which made my bank manager cough. :wink:
