Default Bike safety light

I get Google Offers and every now and then, the Bike Safety light from http://www.bikeglow.com/ is offered for $13 instead of $25.

I don't know if they're any good, but the current offer expires in 13 days. https://www.google.com/offers/ppo/SE...TqUkmQS7iSXSc4

I saw at Fred's in Beaverton, a few of the Vivitar 'go-pro' knock-offs with a steep markdown: $40, down from $100. Didn't study the specs, don't know what it can do, but it's most likely not going to do what a $300 go-pro can.

Still, maybe it has some good use for some of you smart people out there. I can say this: the camera looks good on the outside. By just a quick glance, it looked to me a lot like the go-pro, with the clear plastic shell.

Thumbs up

Kenton Cycle Repair is having a 20% off of tune ups special for February. Free estimates and other deals as well. Good little shop that focuses on keeping the current and discarded bikes on the road and not so much of adding new ones. Great welding skills as well.

Fred's Beaverton has one remaining of the earlier mentioned Vivitar go-pro knockoff's, again at $40. I have no personal experience to recommend this unit. If anyone knows this would be a good deal for them, now's the time. You could roll your bike right into the NW entrance to the store and pick it up

At Beaverton Target on Beav/Hillsdale Hwy Friday, clearance rack, there were a number of Hi-Vis orange Champion brand long sleeve three-quarter zip running jerseys. Very nice lightweight sueded fleece fabric. A range of sizes from S to XL, possibly XXL too ...sorry, didn't look. Half-price at $12.50

Label says 'running', but I'd say the fit is fine for casual cycling too. No back pockets. Under arms appear to be cut generously, rather than close like racing jerseys. Especially for the money, it's good quality for a good deal.
