Ride safe

Always ride safe, have your gear ready when you start your journey. I found these matching grey ZeroRH+ gloves in Paris last year in a bike shop along Champs Elysee. They were a steal and go so nicely with my grey trek. Considering ZeroRH makes the best sports gear around, many reviews have considered them one of the best gloves that money can buy. So obviously I dumped my Nike ones, which were starting to degenerate, and are almost twice as heavy as these. Known to be the best gloves for technical and performance wear, the fabric is very soft and dries quickly. The gloves are pre-formed to an anatomic construction, which basically means it is designed to fit to you hand, well, like a glove. You won't have to worry about breaking these gloves in, they will already be molded to your hands for fit and comfort.

Next must have accessory on your bike is the lights. Lights save lives.

One can never have too much lights.

Increasing visibility on the road, means increasing awareness to drivers on the road. Be it night or day riding, we must increase our presence on the road. So ride safe, keep your lights blinking and stay visible. Wear light colored clothes, especially at night. So above is my front reflector, my 2 back lights, as well as my front LED lights. But they do look ugly.

I've decided to pick up this beauty on a recent trip to Taiwan where there is a bike shop just next to my hotel in Hsinchu.

This looks so much meaner and would look nicer on my seat post.

So this is designed and manufactured in Taiwan - Skully. They are patent pending and check out their webpage for other cute design products. And are they bright enough to replace my 2 back rear lights?

These are ultra bright red LEDs.

This was taken in bright daylight and almost blinding when up close. Turn the Skully on even in daylight to increase visibility. It has 2 modes, fixed or blinking and you activate the modes by pressing down on the face of the skull, it is water resistant, good for raining rides.

Comprises of 2 x CR2032 batteries inserted at the back.

Yes the batteries are not as easily available as the AAA ones for my old rear lights, but ain't these looking much nicer? There is a price to pay for looking good!
