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.

 Bright and simple November 18, 2009
Tsuru (Athens, GA)
What more can you say - it is bright and flashy. Visible from far away even in daylight. Attached to my seat post in one minute.
Very bright November 16, 2009
loneranger (California, USA)
The blinking mode is very bright and catches a driver's attention without any problems. I've used probably 10 different types of tailights over the years, and this is the brightest yet.
Three Riders Recently Finished a X-Country Ride w/ PB Super Blinky November 12, 2009
Bradley Smith
I attached it to the back of my helmet so it is at drivers' eye level, and one to the back of my rack. The other two riders had the same set-up. When I got behind them, say by 200-300 yards, in the middle of the day, they were at least 5 time more visible than without these lights. They are THE ONE SAFETY ITEM that I would not go without now on any kind of bicycle ride. A standard Duracell battery lasted at least 14 days with 8 hours use per day. We changed our batteries once during the 3,000 mile trip. I WOULD NOT GO OUT ON THE STREET WITHOUT ONE OF THESE as they are by far the brightest I have seen (as well as Performance Bicycle's version). I do not know if they produce a white version of these for the front of the bike, but if they do, it is my next purchase. BTW Performance Bicycle makes a similar product that may be brighter for about 1/2 the price...
 Seems bright enough when in my hand November 5, 2009
Jack E. Holdford (South Carolina)
Great shipping and nice that it's ready to go right out of the package. When I'm holding it and look right into the light it seems painfully bright yet that effect maybe directional. When it's on the bike and I walk behind the bike to eval the light it is less impressive. Overall it's a good value and I have no regrets but I will continue to use the reflective vest in addition to the lights.
Simply The Best Tail Light Available So Far. Love it! October 26, 2009
Voiceover Guy
I did a lot of research, read endless reviews, and did a lot of hands-on in stores. After all, if your bike riding entails much time sharing even suburban side streets with cars and preoccupied/oblivious/attitudinal/texting drivers, your tail light is crucial and could make the difference between a nice ride or a trip to the ER. And after lots of hands-on, the Super Flash (as many other reviews attest, here and elsewhere on the Web) is just hands-down the best tail light available(as of this point in LED development, which of course will continue to evolve in the next 2-3 years, although it will take a lot to surpass the current Super Flash).
I love this light. It's plastic, but build quality feels pretty good. It's easily removable, and clips securely to a jacket, strap etc. (It normally comes with a mount for a rear bike rack in addition to the standard seatpost mount, make sure the source you order from includes the rear rack mount; if not it can still be ordered seperately). It has two modes: steady on and a 1-2-3 flashing mode which is a real attention getter. Both are bright and very visible (not always the same thing). Good side visibility, which isn't always apparent in product photos, I'd say about a 140 degree field from the rear/side. VERY bright from directly behind in the same lane. I was a little concerned from other reviews if it would prove obnoxious/too blindingly bright to other riders on bike trails, and glad to say it's not. [...] I'm very pleased with this light, and bought it again for a friend. The case opens and closes easily to change batteries; I haven't had it out in any drenching downpours so can't comment on water resistance. On-off button is located on the very bottom, (not the rear) & easy to find by touch. This light is a winner. Now stop reading all these reviews, buy it, and enjoy your bright well-chosen and reasonably priced tail light.
