If you often ride your bike in the dark, you’ll know how important it is to be highly visible. Having a light and wearing hi-vis clothing is a good idea but if you don’t like the ‘lollipop person’ look, then these Pedalites are for you.
These cool pedalites are kinetic energy powered 360 degree light-up pedals which replace your old bike pedals. Not only do they have standard reflectors, but they also comes with three integral bright LEDs, one facing forward, one backwards and one sideways.
As you pedal, the kinetic energy powers the LEDs, which then flash brightly. The kinetic energy gets stored in the pedals, so even when you stop at a crossing, you can still be seen.

Pedalites was one of my Christmas presents. I am a nervous cyclist so knowing I can be seen by cars from a distance and from the side is a big relief. It’s meant for the first year ever, I have continued cycling during the winter and I feel confident that cars are keeping their distance too.
Also, the fact they don’t need batteries means they are hassle free.
