For cyclists, safety is certainly the number one concern when riding at night. Sure, most blinking lights will increase your front and rear visibility, but what about the all-important side angles? Well, now you can get the Down Low Glow from Rock the Bike, a tubular light that attaches to your bike, lights up the night, and looks phenomenal!
Sure, they may look like a neon lights in a low-rider car, but these Down Low Glow lights look way cooler on a bike where they actually serve a purpose. Thanks to its tubular design, the Down Low Glow lights up both sides of a bike as well as providing additional lighting to the bottom of the bike.

The Down Low Glow is powered by a rechargeable battery, is 12.75″ long, and should fit most bikes. It comes in a number of colours and will set you back $109.00 at the Rock the Bike Store.
