Added Rear Lights

I've been riding the bike to and from work more recently.  I work evenings and sometimes they ask me to stay late so regardless it's always dark when I ride home.  Recently I had a close call with someone who wasn't paying attention, so I decided to add a little extra lighting to the back end.  I know it adds a little bulkiness to the tail, but if it makes me more visible at night, then it's worth it to me.  I bought them from a company called Hyperlites.  http://www.hyperlites.com/3way.html.  There are a couple of movies attached that show the before and after in the dark.

Any chance for a daytime video? Those things are silly bright. Are they pulsing full time or is that just a camera trick?

I'll work on a daytime video, and post it soon.  As far as the pulsing, that is just a trick of the camera, I think because they are LED's.  The company does produce a "modulating" kind if you are interested.

Here is a daytime video.  I noticed that it only adds a little more light during the day.  The blinking in the video is only because they are LED's, real time they are solid red.  The way I see it, added lighting to help people see us is a bonus.
