Sigma makes one that lights up when you hit the rear brake. I wonder if drivers and cyclists will understand that it is a brake light and indicates that the cyclist is braking. I'd think it good to still call out and hand signal until bike brake lights become ubiquitous, if they eventually do.
I remember once taking the lane and having to ride the brake and thinking that the driver behind me had no way of knowing I'm slowing other than depth perception and that a brake light woukd be useful. Not that that situation happens much at all. It attaches to the brake cable just above the sidepull calipers and wedges up against the adjuster barrel. When you hit the brake it raises the cable, causing the light unit to hit against the barrel, bending the light casing at a hinge and turning on the light until you release the brake. Something like that. Of course, I use a front bag so no cover up from rear rack or bag. I already have a rear light but thought Id put another light on. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
