Cycling has become very popular in the United Kingdom, particularly with kids. Because of that, bike safety is now a primary concern amongst parents throughout the UK.
We already make our kids wear safety helmets and they should also be wearing reflective clothing, although as it’s often seen as ‘uncool’ it can be hard to get children to wear them.
So what if we could give our kids a gift that will not only improve bike safety, but will also be seen as ‘cool’ by the youngsters? Well that’s now possible with the new Bike SpokeLit.
These little gadgets clip to the spokes of any bike, lighting up the wheels as they turn. You can choose whether the lights are continually on, or flashing around once every second. Having the light on continually will give you a ring of light effect when the bike is in motion, not only helping to increase visibility of the bike, but also looking fairly cool.
The batteries won’t run out any time soon, lasting for months on average. This means you’ll have some genuine piece of mind, and won’t have to worry about the batteries running out while your kids are out cycling. Installation is quick and simple, making them perfect for children to add to the bikes themselves.
The lights are completely suitable for either gender, meaning they can be bought even if you’re looking for gifts for girls. The lights are available in either green, red or blue, meaning you’re OK whichever football team the children support.
Let’s face it, being safe is uncool to children, so being able to give them something that helps keep them safe without them really knowing seems ideal. Wait for their birthday to roll around, then just sneak the lights in with the rest of their toys and you can be sure the Bike SpokeLit will be attached to their bike before the end of the day.
So don’t spend your time fretting whenever your kids are out and about on their bikes, just get them a couple of these and relax knowing that they can be seen by road users wherever they are.
