Cycling Gloves with LED Signal Light


I don't ride a bike very often OK to be honest not in the last 25 plus years of marriage but I would love to get out there and ride with my children. My husband is afraid I will fall and get hurt, but maybe if I start off riding in the grass and work my way up to riding on the road again he will be fine with that.

Either way these gloves are fantastic for my girls, or myself to use. My husband with huge hands is actually wearing them in the pictures. They did fit him but they were a little snug. He is more of a XXL in gloves but he was able to get them on for review purposes. They fit me fine and with my 12 year old having hands bigger than myself these will fit her even better.

We have been trying to teach our children how to ride on the roads more carefully. We live rurally so they are used to just riding wherever but if we ever move they have to be ready for how it is to drive with more traffic. That means actually wearing a helmet, using signals to turn, and everything else that comes with riding a bike.

These gloves are great they have nice grip, fit well, and the lights are fantastic for either night or day.

These gloves can be found in two colors on Amazon.


What Ohuhu has to say about their product.

~Makes Night Riding Safe - increases your visibility and communicates your turning intentions to other vehicles on the road
Easy & Simple to Use - All you need to do is to stretch out your arm and thumb up, let the turn signal gloves blink for a while and then turn
Smart Power Saving System - battery included (the LED lights will blink for 200 hours, which allows you to take about 400~500 thousand turns)

Riding Bikes in the Dark


We like to make sure that our children are safe when they are riding their bikes at dusk or when it is dark outside. These lights fit the bill and work great. Easy to install. These lights are well seen with three settings, steady, slow blinking, and fast blinking.

Batteries last for quite a while and are easy to change out when needed. Now that it is getting colder the girls don't ride their bikes as often so the lights will go into hibernation until spring time when they will be used non stop to the next cold spell.


You can find the Night King Pro lights on Amazon.

I have started selling these neat bicycle lights. The flashing lights make it far more likely a car or other road user will see you at night or in dull conditions - major safety improvement for any cyclist!
In many countries it is law to have a red flashing rear light, and white flashing light to the front. Hence this set.
Easy to fit and remove with the stretchy silicon strap

Mini Bicycle Pump





Being a parent I want my children to be ready for pretty much anything that comes at them. Since my children all ride bikes and we live in the country I want to make sure if they get a flat away from home they are going to be able to get home safely with their bike.

Having a mini bike pump is one way to do that. I really like how this does the job well. I don't like how it attaches to the bike. I want something that will not bring down the value of the bike so maybe they could come up with a different way for it to attach to the bike.

Also they need to have a spot for the needle so that if you are riding to play basketball, and find your ball needs to be pumped you will have everything you need with you. Even though this is small it is easy to use and works well. Over all I am very happy with this product, and hope to see more products from Cyrrus in the future.

FlashBright LED Bike Light

This is the second bike light we have gotten for our two youngest girls. I had a light for my bike growing up but not nearly as nice as theirs. We wanted our daughters to be safe when they are driving their bikes home at night. Now they can see as well as other motorists being able to see them. 

We live rurally so I want them to be able to see the road and any animals they might come across like bob cats, bears, deer, snakes, etc. They are usually home before dark but sometimes they get playing and run late getting home. I want to make sure they are safe. 

Each light has three different light settings. The red light comes with 2 button cell batteries but you will need to put in 3 AAA batteries into the black light. My girls love how they can take the flashlight out to use for other things like looking for frogs, slugs, etc.

TeamObsidian's Bicycle Light Set





This is a great item for our girls. In the summer they try to be home on time but sometimes it gets darker quicker then it takes them to get home, so now I know they are safe with the Team Obsidian's Bicycle Light Set.

The Team Obsidian's Bicycle Light Set was easy to install and the girls love how the light detaches so they can see when walking up the walk to our house.

Below you can see our video review.

Longest Lasting Super Bright Rim Lights


MarksvilleandMe reviews Longest Lasting Super Bright Rim Lights - Personalized LED Colorful Wheel Lights


In the picture above we are spinning it by hand, it really does not do it justice in how nice it looks when a bike is being rode on the road, but it is wet, cold, and nasty here so I wasn't going to let my girls go out so I could get a picture.

My girls love them and my husband wants to buy more. I might even put a set on my bike in the Spring. Imagine a 42 year old overweight mom of 6 riding a bike with rim lights. It should be amusing to say the least. 

These would be great on cars (please notice you may be pulled over and ticketed), strollers, and anything that has a valves stem. Great for making your child's bike to be seen in the dark. Most of the time my girls are home by dark but sometime they lose track of time and fall behind. I like that they will be easy to see with these, and they are having fun at the same time. 

You can purchase the Longest Lasting Super Bright Rim Lights - Personalized LED Colorful Wheel Lights on Amazon.
