to avoid getting hit while biking, you have to be seen and noticed, noticed bikers don't get hit, that's just science


Have you ever been out on your bike at night and felt less than safe? The boys on the Bike Balls team have your back. Call their new product glow nuts, luz de cojones, a PG-13 rear light for your bike

a pair of Bike Balls will set you back $20. Batteries are included, and although we haven’t held the Bike Balls in our own hands, they appear Timex-esque: They take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’.

The LED module is protected by a translucent silicone shell that glows. This is different than naked LEDs that produce a pinpoint of light. According to the company, the shell increases the lit visible area from 18 square millimeters to 1,872 square millimeters or, about 104 times more lit surface.

Or, as the Toronto-based company says, “The design of the housing ensures that the light bobs around on the back of your bike seat. This random movement grabs the attention of people behind and beside you, ensuring that you will be noticed. Noticed bikers don’t get hit as much. That’s science.”

  1. What a novel idea, I'm sure that this will get noticed alright! I have to wonder though, could these unique glowing orbs also cause motorists to get dangerously close behind the bike while trying to verify just exactly what it is that they are looking at?
