Bike Lights

Light & Motion Urban 400

Even when it’s the daytime in the Pacific Northwest, it can be pretty dark outside.  Come in and get a light (or two) for your bike.

Lights are probably the most crucial safety product that we sell (a helmet won’t protect you if you ride off of the Agate Pass bridge in the dark), so we try to choose the best that is available.

We have simple blinky rear lights from Knog, Planet Bike, Fizik, Serfas, and Portland Design Works.  These obnoxious lights can go on the back of your saddle, seatpost, on a rack, wrapped around a frame tube, on a helmet, or on you.  They range in price from about $10 to $95.

Simple blinkers and safety lights

Want to see where you are going?  We have lots of head lamps, and they keep getting better each year.  What we now consider to be a cheap “to be seen” light was once considered a powerful “to see where I’m going” light.  Most of the brighter lights now happen to be rechargable too, with reliable batteries that can be recharged for years.

We have American-made (Californian-made, to be exact) headlights from Light & Motion and Niterider, as well as less expensive imported lights from Planet Bike, Portland Design Works, Knog, and Serfas.  Headlights range in price from about $20 to $250.

We typically choose what we carry based on reliability, the lumen (light output) per dollar ratio, and whether the light mounting system works easily and effectively or not.
