Blinking lights thus are simply intermittently functional devices.
If you’re on the road, you’re a vehicle.
It burns me up that bike shops even sell any lights that aren’t as bright as any other modern vehicle’s lights.
Those vehicular “bright enough for a stadium” lights are one of four things that all drivers- not just the sober ones- are looking for. (1- traffic lights 2- the next turn to make 3- land marks for the next turn to make 4- other first class citizens with pavement colored cars and bright af lights)
Quit betting your lives on toy lights.
bikes are weird, so are blinky lights. weird things get noticed. If you're on a bike in traffic, you should want to be noticed as weird.
