Curve: Stylish and cheap bicycle lights

Bookman curve

The Curve rear light is the latest offering from Bookman – specialists in stylish and functional bike accessories.

The Cree LED puts out 37 lumens and runs continuously for up to 24 hours. The light costs around £25 and the USB charger, which recharges the batteries from empty in only 2 hours, will save a small fortune in batteries.

The completely weatherproof light promises to keep you visible through rain, hail or snow.

“Our inspiration comes from the humming bike life we see in urban Europe where it is evident that getting on a bike is not reason enough to disregard dressing well. Our goal is to inspire more of you style-conscious people to see that traveling in the saddle can be a way of life that combines style, convenience, design and fun.” Bookman

    Wish all it took was a bright light to stop drivers hitting you! All we’re doing is reducing the odds by a smidge, and paying a fortune for it.

    Just joined a local cycling club – given up my Claud Butler racing bike. Now have mountain bike given to me by grandson. At 81 I need to be clearly visible to all other road users as I cycle around my community. My handbell is too heavy to carry too. Can you provide a battery powered loud bell too?

    Please let me have one. Fixed to the rear seat post, it’ll be my only chance of being ahead of the curve.

    I trust they’ve sorted the switch – please let me try! So often the switch fails to change the flash mode, or even switch it off. I find it helps to VERY gently clean the contacts, both the gold comb and the black button.
    btw, bad English: “Environmentally friendly”! Don’t we say “child friendly”, “user friendly”, “dog friendly” – as in friendly to children, users and dogs? So how can anything be friendly to the environmentally? It’s Environment friendly!

    Looks a nice light, but pity it only appears to attach to the seat post – no good if you’ve got a rack bag or saddle bag.
