The New Urban 500 Debuts at Interbike!

The New Urban 500 Debuts at Interbike!

September 12, 2011  |  Buyer's Guide, Cool Stuff, Featured

The Urban is a beautifully designed light in which form meets function in a small and powerful package.  The Urban 180, 300 and NEW Urban 500s are packed with features and deliver more lumens per gram than anything in their class.

The Urban projects a powerful and graduated beam of bright white light to provide the cyclist with high visibility and a long-line of sight – See and Be Seen. One touch High-Medium-Low-Flash provides multiple output settings for urban riding in dense traffic day or night.

The  amber side emitters of the Urban provide  cyclists greater visibility at intersections where over 70% of accidents occur.

The Urban delivers accurate battery charge status, so you are never left wondering if you will make it home on the current charge. And, the all-in-one system means that there are no external batteries or cables. This rechargeable system saves you  more than $800 over the life of the light vs. throw-away battery type lights and is better for the planet too!

With amber side emitters for 180 degrees of visibility, tool-less mounting for bar and helmet, and an accurate battery gauge indicator, the Urban answers the performance and safety requirements of the most ardent commuter.

If you are heading to Interbike this week stop by and check out our new line of lights! Light & Motion will be at booth #19105.

Painting With Light: Strobe Lights

May 23, 2011  |  Cool Stuff, Featured

Digging this shot from Flickr user habi, where he used both his front and back lights to “paint” his bike. The dashed effect comes from setting his light on the flashing, “strobe light,” mode. Here’s another one we like:

Do you take fun night shots with your bike? Send them our way! Either post to our Facebook page or upload to our Flickr group. We want to see how you paint with light!

Tour De Pakistan: Asia’s Longest Cycling Race

April 12, 2011  |  Blog, Cool Stuff, events

We’re busy prepping for Sea Otter, but we figured we’d spare a moment to highlight another bike bike event on the other side of the world: the Tour de Pakistan.

Asia’s longest cycling race, this year the Tour took riders from Karachi to Abbottabad, in 11 stages and over 1,000 miles.

The Wall Street Journal has a great slideshow of photos from the Tour.
