And very importantly, it is designed to mount on seatposts or chainstays. I almost bought a Niterider Cherrybomb until I realized that it is designed to only mount on seatposts, a design flaw with many taillights. Do light manufacturers not realize that many cyclists use seatbags that would block a taillight mounted on a seatpost?
This is my current fav too. Looks like the Hotshot Micro still isn't sold with the hook to hang it off of the saddlebag or belt, but you can contact the company have them send you (for free) an attachment for clipping this light on a saddlebag. Also the price is below $25 if you consider sellers on ebay. I saw several sellers that get below that mark with free shipping. The thing I really like about it is that Cyglolite considered group riders when considering the options. I think very few suppliers consider this option.
