Ride home for Tuesday, 15 November
The Tiresparx are continuing to make a difference, everyone seems to slow down around me when they see the flashing blue lights. Most gratifying...
I had a comment from a pedestrian on the firetrail, "I thought you were a car coming towards me and I couldn't figure out how on earth you would fit!" - I guess the lights are quite effective!

I just found some Tire Sparxx based on your recommendation. I can't wait to see how they work.
They are very fancy.
Ahhh, but what colour are they?
Also, I'd recommend wrapping them in a thin strip of clear packing tape or similar, as the O-ring doesn't seem to line up too well in the body (you'll see what I mean when you open up the package).
Unfortunatley they only had the mulit colored ones, and not the blue ones. They look flimsy, and all I have to do in walk near my bike and they start flashing like crazy. I am so going riding later tonight if it does not start raining.
Thanks for the idea on the tape. They look like they are going to break fairly quickly.
I had some from a different manufacturer last year, the salt on the roads rotted out the plastic by spring. They lasted through the winter and worked for what I wanted them to do (albeit not as brightly as the Tyresparx), so I couldn't really complain for $7...
There's a chrome version as well, which might be a bit tougher (but isn't available around here).
