I would love to find Superflashes on the road. I clip mine to my back pocket, and it seems to stay there. I have several other flashers that have met the road multiple times. I would love a bright taillight I could mount to a seatstay eyelet or a fender. I have a (busted up and taped back together) Cateye that can be mounted to a reflector mount, but they weigh many ounces. A really nice fender-mount light seems like a perfect Velo-Orange product, or... a Rivendell product.
What about a soft plastic curved one you epoxy straight onto the fender? Like a four-inch structured knog, but really bright? Peel off the backing, stick it on. Squeeze it to turn it on, peel it off to change the battery. The battery would have to be lightweight, or stuck to the fender itself. Is there already a nice looking, super-bright fender-mount battery taillight for ~$20? Philip McMinnville, Ore.
