About Planet Bike
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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - bike rear tail light
Works great and have lasted over a year on one battery. Battery is a watch style and mounting is simple. Rear red light is bright and noticed in the dark of night. Liked them so much, have ordered for the kids bikes. Great price and they are water resistant.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Safety Lights
These are a little bit smaller than what I had expected but does it's job for one of our adult bikes. It came with 3 bracket mounts, I believe they're all different sizes. I used the two bigger ones. One was too big, but it also comes with 3 rubber rings to put inside the brackets, so when I used one of those it fits fine. All you need is a philips screwdriver to get them on.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Bright white
These lights work well, seem to be sturdy in construction and one battery seems to last quite a while. I'm very pleased with them but I couldn't give them 5 stars due to the design of the white light.
I had been using them for about a week and had to take an extra early ride in to work. It was my first when it was dark out. When I turned on the white light on the handlebars it shone in a wide arc, over 180 degrees up and down and left and right. I couldn't see because the light was shinning ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Little Blinkers
Very bright and eye catching. They use quality super Leds so this things are visible from a good distance, especially the headlight. The small size is great to carry them around in any saddle pouch or riding bag.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent product
The lights work very efficiently and they are nice and compact. Assembly was easy and they are pleasant to look at also.
