Owing to flats, or broken chains, or just sitting around and telling tall stories, my group dirt ride sometimes turns into an accidental night ride. I always envy the one or two guys with the foresight to bring a light — at least a blinky or two — for the road return.

There have been a lot of advances in the world of bicycle lighting in the last few years, ranging from the $1000 Big Betty headlight to the $10 Knog.

Now an Australian company has invented a new lighting solution: portable turn lights that you strap on your wrists. Make your normal handsignals, indicating the direction of your turn, and the lights activate and blink automatically. Just $20! Nifty!
