Abstract
A bicycle light comprises a light head (18) operable to emit light of one color such as white in one direction and light of another color such as red in the opposite direction, and a mounting (20, 24) for attaching the light head to an end of a bicycle's handlebars (12), preferably the off-side end of the handlebars. The bicycle light enhances the visibility of the cyclist by adopting a novel position for the light, and it also encourages motorists to give the cyclist a wider berth while overtaking. The mounting may include a flexible stem (20), and in one embodiment the stem may be retractable into the handlebars.
