RITIK KAILASH MANWAR: REALLY good

David Massie: These disco lights look amazing! Seriously, one on each wheel makes it seems like you went in for an expensive LED wheel kit. Most importantly, you are seen from the side. Side collisions are a very common way to get hit by a car, as headlights and taillights tend be unnoticeable from that angle. I bike 30 minutes early each morning and in the evening along a heavily-trafficked route in Santo Domingo, DR. Drivers here can be maniacs but these things have kept me well-lit and seen for months. The one important bit to remember is to turn them off when you arrive. The batteries will last awhile if you only turn them on when you need them, but if you forget about them then they'll be toast. Too bad the design doesn't allow for AAA batteries instead of the watch batteries. They'd last longer and you could use rechargeables. Regardless, these are a great addition to your cycling setup and they make cheap and really thoughtful gifts!

farshid: Great product and easy to install. The lights are much brighter than I expected and they look great at night.

Karen Kelly: Well, one of them is definitely a bit wonky but I'm still giving it four stars because they're actually cooler than I expected. It's not worth the hassle of trying to send the wonky one back, and it *sort of* works, it's just kind of dim and flickery.

I like the materials, it's a nice rubbery plastic, holds up well to daily, punishing rides. They're easy to put on, they stay in place, and the changing colors are awesome. I'll probably order some more soon, and just cross my fingers they are both nice and bright, and I am of the opinion that more lights on the bike is better. These really do make a difference in how soon motorists notice me -- I am always watching to make sure they notice me, because there have been times they did not, and those times really sucked. Anything that makes a difference with the noticing, I'm all over it.

自然で遊ぶ: 暗くなってから、前輪のスポークに挟んで使います。キャットアイ・セーフティライト [TL-LD570R] リフレックスオートと一緒に使っているので余計目立ちます。少し、恥ずかしくなる程目立ちます。しかし安全にはかえられません。

＜モードは以下の通りです。＞
●１回クリック・・・GLOW・・・色が変化するモード（見た感じは、赤、緑、水色、紫、しろ、黄色、オレンジ、水色、赤の繰り返し）
●２回クリック・・・FLASH・・・赤の点滅

スイッチは真中の丸い部分を押しますが、私にとっては硬い（片手では辛い）という印象でした。それに、気温が低くなると、硬くなるようで、スイッチをささらに強く押すことになります。電池も入っていますので、カバーを外すのにも力が要ります。まさに、アメリカ製といった感じです。

半透明になった本体は、ＬＥＤが光ると淡く乱反射します。

Thom: These are great. I have six, one on each wheel of three bikes, and they vastly improve visibility from the side. Headlights and taillights are great, but I work downtown and often am not seen by drivers who are doing quick turning and merging necessitated by the many one-way streets. They are cheap, and these offer a great bang-for-your-buck for being seen on your bike at night. They're pretty flashy too! (no pun intended)

Very easy to install, just put on a spoke and slide towards the outside of the wheel so it's wedged between three spokes. I used a clear zip-tie around the light & spoke so it can't just be pulled off by a envious passer-by.

They have two modes, solid and flashing (blinking) operation. I find the solid operation better; since they're on your wheel, they're moving enough to be very eye-catching, which would be the benefit of the flashing mode.

They aren't the easiest things to turn on and off; it takes a very firm push, so much so that you need to reinforce the light with your other hand to avoid too much stress to your spokes. However, that's better than it accidentally being turned on and running out the button...

C. RINGER: I was looking for something to make me seen commuting to work on the dark winter nights and thought these might do the trick.

They fit very securely into the spokes without tools and have stayed put on the potholed roads of London. They emit a suprising amount of light and make you stand out on the road. I have used two on the front wheel and you get a great effect as they phase through about 8 colours in tandem.

Unfortunately one of the two I bought arrived with the batteries nearly worn out. It is easy to replace the watch batteries and they seem to be keeping the water out.

The only problem I have is that I keep getting distracted at them spinning round when I should be looking at the road!

Would recommend highly for commuters and kids alike.

Travis Richey: Wow, can't believe how many people don't read the simple instructions (about how to turn off demo mode).

I got these last summer for my new bike, since I'm riding through parts of Los Angeles that have very poor lighting in the middle of the night (Cahuenga Pass, if you're familiar), and I LOVE these SpokeLits! I had to order them from another website and they seemed much more expensive (around $15-$20 apiece), but I'm thrilled that Amazon in selling them now!

I put a green and red light on opposite ends of my wheels, and they look great when I'm riding through the streets. I feel much more visible, and I can see the lights reflecting off of the ground, parked cars and windows I pass.

I agree the Blue doesn't seem like it'd be as visible, but for $5 and free shipping, I'm going to order one to try it out.

IMPORTANT! The biggest downside to these is the batteries, which don't last all that long and sell for almost $4 most places (and the SpokeLit uses 2 at a time). But I just found a seller on Amazon that sells a pack of 25 for $8, with free shipping. Just search for "CR2016". I haven't gotten mine yet, but there is a lot of...
