That said, they are not going to provide sufficient light for some kinds of night-time riding. However, they will keep you safer by ensuring that you are never in danger because your bike light&#8217;s battery ran out while you were halfway home.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-207\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-207\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th colspan=\"5\" class=\"column-1\"><center>Bike Lights We Recommend<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><\/td><td class=\"column-4\"><\/td><td class=\"column-5\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><figure id=\"attachment_7036\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7036\" style=\"width: 198px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3R0bnbr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Reelights.jpg?resize=198%2C145&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Reelights\" width=\"198\" height=\"145\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7036\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7036\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reelights - charged by pedaling.

Which also of course makes them <strong>really planet friendly<\/strong> \u2013 always a great thing. However, for me the greatest benefit of the Reelight Rl721 lights is simply that my lights are <strong>always on<\/strong>, even when it suddenly gets darker, or the batteries on one of my other bike lights run down.<\/p>\n<p>This could potentially save my life. I know a woman who was hit head-on by a car while she was cycling after dark, because she did not realize that her front light battery was completely dead. (Luckily, she survived without remarkably few injuries.)<\/p>\n<h2>How Reelights Help with Bike Safety<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Reelights are on during the day as well<\/strong>. I once spoke with a bus driver who told me he prefers cyclist to have lights on even in the daytime, as he can see them from two blocks away. He said he finds it hard to see them at all without lights.<\/p>\n<p>Bearing this out is a study conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popdata.bc.ca\/ria\/projects\/dip\/gov\/007\">Reelight and other researchers<\/a> with 4,000 cyclists over one year. This study showed <strong>daytime lights on bikes reduced accidents by 19%, and reduced injuries to cyclists by a staggering 47%. <\/strong>Thank you to Canadian safety activist and academic Neil Aronson for drawing my attention to this study.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Related Post: <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/best-bike-light-under-30-serfas-thunderbolt-tail-light-review\/\">Best Bike Light under $40 \u2013 Serfas Thunderbolt Tail Light Review<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2>Another Way to Light Up Your Bike for Safety, without Having to Think Too Much About It<\/h2>\n<p>For decades now, I have been a fan of various kinds of wheel lights. These are tiny LED lights that you fix to the spokes of your wheels. On more than one occasion, I believe they have saved my life. This is because they make you visible to motorists approaching you at a T-angle. For example, sleepy people pulling out of side streets in the very early morning. I love them as a safety feature, but they are also a lot of fun because you can usually change the colors and patterns.<\/p>\n<p>These LED wheel lights are not self-charging, but they run on batteries which don&#8217;t need to be recharged for many months at a time. All you have to do is switch them on before pulling out. I always use them in low light conditions. The ones below are highly rated and very affordable.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44429\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44429\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/44ZDBZD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"44429\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/reelights-review\/activ-life-2-tire-pack-led-bike-wheel-lights-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Activ-Life-2-Tire-Pack-LED-Bike-Wheel-Lights-1.jpg?fit=750%2C750&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,750\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Activ Life 2-Tire Pack LED Bike Wheel Lights (1)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Activ Life LED Wheel Lights for two wheels&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Activ-Life-2-Tire-Pack-LED-Bike-Wheel-Lights-1.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Activ-Life-2-Tire-Pack-LED-Bike-Wheel-Lights-1.jpg?fit=750%2C750&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-44429 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Activ-Life-2-Tire-Pack-LED-Bike-Wheel-Lights-1.jpg\" alt=\"Activ Life LED Wheel Lights for two wheels\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44429\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"44429\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/reelights-review\/activ-life-2-tire-pack-led-bike-wheel-lights-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Activ-Life-2-Tire-Pack-LED-Bike-Wheel-Lights-1.jpg?fit=750%2C750&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,750\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Activ Life 2-Tire Pack LED Bike Wheel Lights (1)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Activ Life LED Wheel Lights for two wheels&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Activ-Life-2-Tire-Pack-LED-Bike-Wheel-Lights-1.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Activ-Life-2-Tire-Pack-LED-Bike-Wheel-Lights-1.jpg?fit=750%2C750&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-44429 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Activ-Life-2-Tire-Pack-LED-Bike-Wheel-Lights-1.jpg?resize=750%2C750&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Activ Life LED Wheel Lights for two wheels\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Activ-Life-2-Tire-Pack-LED-Bike-Wheel-Lights-1.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Activ-Life-2-Tire-Pack-LED-Bike-Wheel-Lights-1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Activ-Life-2-Tire-Pack-LED-Bike-Wheel-Lights-1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Activ-Life-2-Tire-Pack-LED-Bike-Wheel-Lights-1.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Activ Life LED Wheel Lights for two wheels. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/44ZDBZD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Please click here for current best price on Amazon (usually around $25)<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Bottom Line on Reelights<\/h2>\n<p>We highly recommend Reelights bike lights because they are an easy, affordable way to be safer on your bike.
