Pedalite Non Battery-Dependent Bicycle Pedal Light At Tech Digest
Tech Digest reports on a new "lighted Pedal" for bicycles which provides information for the first time on "cyclists distance, direction and relative position" especially to motorized traffic. 'Pedalites are bicycle pedals that produce powerful, pulsed illumination from energy expended by your pedaling - so no batteries. The flashing lights can be seen over half a mile away at night - and unlike the old dynamo lights, these continue to work even when your bike has come to a halt - flashing for up to 6 minutes after just 2 minutes’ pedaling, which is good when you;re at junctions and traffic lights. The Pedalites offer 360-degree illumination, ensuring you are seen by all the traffic around you, as well as pedestrians and other cyclists.'
