Deez lights.
No word yet on whether flashing them in public is okay in Germany.

Your auto-correct may have misspelled "rad".

Non omnino gravis
The notion of dangling a nutsack under a bike saddle comes nowhere near offending me as badly as the fast that the actual product doesn't hang centered, but rather off to one side or the other. That's way too much dangle angle.

Is this a case of - if you can't beat 'em - join 'em?
Not on one of my bikes.

It's nice that the products are on the market so everyone has an equal opportunity to show the world that they're trash.

Well...there are plenty of seat rail lights and brackets available plus the DIY options. Seen one guy mount one of those 360° rotating yellow safety lights on his bike and nobody can say they can't see him when he's like a moving lighthouse...lol.

Does anyone else find that guy creepy?
These might make a funny gag gift though.

I followed a very nice p'up truck with chromed balls! I guess that's putting a shine on...well, something.
Actually chromed is better than natural.

I found the whole idea disgusting when if first became popular with the P-up truckies. I don't see these ( the original versions ) too much anymore because I'm sure most of the guys who used to have these on their trucks either grew up or took them off because their girl friends / wives refused to ride in their trucks. Of course when their little daughters start asking questions than that too could be a big motivating factor as well.
Anyway, I find the whole idea of a bike light in this configuration even more disgusting.

The "balls" are stupid and a cry for attention, however the rider, on the other hand, I approve of.

I think the kind of folks that would want that can't afford a "bike shop" bike.

I just had a funny thought. Remember in the movie, "A Christmas Story" when Ralphie's dad puts that horrible lamp in the window and his mom is just dying the whole time. Then there is the supposed accident where the Mrs. accidentally hits the lamp and the lamp is broken ( which of course we all knew was no accident ) I can't help but think how many girlfriends/wives/parents/family members found themselves sneaking outside at night with a pair of pruning shears or bolt cutters.

Creepy?....that would depend upon the person. If it were an older person, yeah. Crude and ignorant?...certainly.

I hope you aren't going to dredge up more 6 year old zombie thread that have phrases that seem uncomfortable. You might dredge up some of mine that I'm not too proud of!
