Stay Safe. Be Seen: Cyclops Adventure Sport ADV

Our look at bike lights for safety continues with the stunningly bright 900 lumen Cyclops Adventure Sport ADV. This single LED light is an attractive option at $140 for folks who need big output at a reasonable cost. A recreation-focused light, it still has a very functional flashing mode that certainly gets noticed.

Stay Safe. Be Seen: Light and Motion Vis360 and Vis180

In the next edition of our series on bike lights for safety & Visibility on the road, we look at the Vis360 and Vis180 from Light & Motion.

Transition Expert (2011)

Stay Safe. Be Seen: Lupine Piko 3

Kwicky Blade Light (2011)

The K-Swiss Kwicky Blade weighs a mere 9oz, exceptionally light for a training shoe. But if you are an efficient, and not too heavy, runner with a midfoot or forefoot strike, you might get it done in this shoe.
