In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment. Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact. Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

 the best bike tail light I've found, buy one and be seen! December 29, 2008

This thing is incredibly bright, uses standard batteries, is a nice small size, and is easy to remove. I love the fact that it's not red until lit which looks better on my classic beach cruiser. It is also available with a red lens if you prefer that look. It is blazingly bright for a small light that operates on standard batteries. The only possible down side is because it can be easily removed, it can also easily be stolen. Just something to be aware of if you leave your bike locked in urban areas.
A Great Light, buy one and be seen!

If you can find a brighter AA battery-powered tail light on the planet than the Planet Bike Blinky, please let me know.
FOR DAYTIME USE !! STAY ALIVE! USE THIS TAIL LIGHT! December 27, 2008

Almost our entire cycling group (varies from 8-15/ride) uses either this Planet Bike Superflash taillight or the now discontinued Serfas TL1000 taillight on DAYTIME rides, because either one effectively calls attention to our presence from 1/3 to 1/2 mile away, EVEN IN SUNLIGHT. Daytime use started with one person in early summer. Within a few weeks everyone realized the value of these lights in enhancing safety during our one to three hour daylight rides and got one or the other.
Any blinky light works reasonably well in the dark (except in brightly lit urban environs.) What's needed is something that calls attention to us during the daytime.
Only these do the job well; the others are barely noticeable. Both come with seatpost and with seat stay mounts. Neither is made for non-cylindrical attachment points, such as the aero seatposts and stays on triathlon specific bikes. However, copper pipe insulation foam around non cylindrical seat stays makes it possible to mount the Superflash on such bikes. Get one for your bike; your survival chances will improve -- if you use it!
These remarks also apply to the Superflash Stealth model, which has a clear lens even though the lights are red.
Compact and Bright Light! December 19, 2008

I bought 2 of these lights for my wife and I due to high ratings in bike forums. This is a nice bright LED light. The bright flash is directional, meaning you have to be fairly close to in line with the tail light. Though the whole case lights up as well. I really like the clear lens and the black case matches our bike frames. I highly recommend this blinky light for bike commuters. Love it!

There really is not a better product in this price range. If you ride on the street with cars, you will be noticed which is after all the intention. I have this product on my Trek road and mountain bikes and cars really do move out of your way.
The Planet Bike 1/2 watt and 1 watt light for the front of your bike also works equally well for a reasonable cost.
