SimpleDom Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Did my first commute again this morning since my last commute 19th May Feels REAL good to be back to commuting by bike. [emoji106]Welcome home. militarac and Gandalf 2
Velouria Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Looks like a cool little gadget - I'm rather tempted to get a set. I don't have a bike that is suitable, so I'd have to get another bike too! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/revolights-eclipse-connected-bike-lighting-system#/ Edited October 22, 2015 by Velouria BouncingBrain, samson99, Warren_G and 2 others 5

But at almost R4000 I just can't justify it... DJR 1
Warren_G Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Agreed they are very cool! But at almost R4000 I just can't justify it...WHAT?!?! 4K, nee dankie I'll deal with my crappy R200 lights
Velouria Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 WHAT?!?! 4K, nee dankie I'll deal with my crappy R200 lights$219 is quite reasonable, just a pity the Rand is so vrot. $219 will buy you a cup of tea and slice of cake, and you'll have some change for parking DirtyDan 1
Belgarath Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 WHAT?!?! 4K, nee dankie I'll deal with my crappy R200 lightsMine is 80 bucks each... I have two so that I can see both sides of the trail
samson99 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 WHAT?!?! 4K, nee dankie I'll deal with my crappy R200 lightsWhat about a bulk order? would that not diminish the cost for us?
Tayyib Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) WHAT?!?! 4K, nee dankie I'll deal with my crappy R200 lightsI met the guys who were looking at bringing them Into the country...they brought about 30 or 40 in....after import duties and other costs that's more or less what they were looking at price wise...the other issue is they are pretty difficult to install.hunter cycles was being used as there Installion guys,they reckoned they struggled to attach it to road bikes wheels and took them a few hours to get it into a mtb and not hinder the operation of the bike. Don't mean to say negative things about the product,but when you see it in person it ls quite bulky and does not look nice on the bike,also I felt it did not perform as well as it does in the marketing video. If you got money to throw away for a cool light show at critical mass fine but not practical in its current form. Edited October 27, 2015 by Tayyib Warren_G 1
Bernard Horn Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Don't think you are safe on the cycle lane.Seen near Lagoon beach this morning.Driver clipped the barrier between BRT lane and Marine Dr and rolled onto cycle lane.Sat and Sun mornings use to scare the daylights out of me because of the jollers going home .Add Fri mornings as well.Be careful out there

cfcjim Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Yep, the remains of a scooter were halfway into the Milnerton cycle lane last week.
Cois Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Been a few weeks since I have been on the bike. Bit nervous after that stupid slut tried to take me out on the sidewalk, and the heat wave we had for the past few weeks. Should help to loose a bit of weight as well. Gained a huge amount the last few months...
