Rear Lights

Lighting is an essential aspect of riding a bicycle during the evenings. The correct lights on a bike will ensure that both the cyclist and those around the cyclist are safe. A rear bike light will alert cars to the cyclist's presence on the road, so that the motorist can give the cyclist enough room to cycle along safely and avoid an accident. Whilst the front light on a bike is used as both a light to see with and a light to be seen by passing motorists and pedestrians, a rear light is used specifically to be seen; that is, it allows motorists and other cyclists to spot the bike well before there is any danger of hitting it.

On any bike rear light functionality is essential; it needs to be water resistant, made from robust materials and very reliable. The Moon GEM USB rear light is one such item. This light comes with 4 modes, including a flashing, low beam, high beam and strobe, to ensure maximum visibility. It's ideal for those who cycle to and from work, as its battery lasts for up to 7 hours and it is also water resistant.

The Princeton Tec Swerve light is another option for cyclists. This item comes with both a static and a flashing light mode and is very bright, making it perfect for very dark cycling conditions. It is easy to attach and remove and is ideal for longer cycling journeys. This particular light comes with batteries included as standard.
