RideLit was designed to clearly and effectively tell your fellow commuters not only where you are, but also which direction you’re heading. Its bright L.E.D. can be seen for up to a mile away, and can be set to either steady glow or flash modes. The elastic strap is adjustable and removable, so you can wear, hang, or attach it wherever you like.

When I ride in the dark or in gloomy weather -- that is, most of the time in winter! -- I want to be lit up like a 747 decked out for Christmas. The design of my helmet, however, has posed an interesting challenge in terms of rear light installation.Enter the Nite Ize Ridelit Bicycle Light. It's big, it's bright, and it comes with a strap that's close to infinitely adjustable. I shortened it, ran the bight through the provided elastic loop so it wouldn't tickle my head, and looped it through my helmet's rear vents, and squeezed it to turn it on: presto! A more visible me, courtesy of Nite Ize.Considering that I paid less than $8 for this light, I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near as bright as it is. I'm confident that drivers will be able to spot my Ridelit far off in the distance. Between this and my many other lights, though, I hope they won't mistake me for some kind of bizarre, low-flying alien craft!The only drawback to this light is that you really have to use some muscle to turn it on and off. Its tough shell makes it hard to squeeze. Perhaps it will soften up over time, and that same toughness probably makes it pretty durable. I'd rather have a durable light that's a little had to turn on than a flimsy one that isn't.I do plan on ordering some more of these guys for friends, as well as an extra for myself. The chief virtue of this light is that you really can attach it just about anywhere -- and since, in the words of Oscar wilde, "Noting succeeds like excess," I figure, the more, the merrier!
