Melbourne based bicycle gear company Knog have a light in their range called the Bullfrog. It’s just one in a range that includes Beetles, Gekkos, Boomers, Skinks and other, smaller Frogs. Some are high powered and say: "I will pierce through this black velvety night!", while others are a bit smaller and simply say "Excuse me sir/madam, I’m on my bike at the moment." But they all have in common a design sensibility that is adaptable to any kind of handle bar, mainly via the stretchy rubber binding wrapper thingy. And if the raindrops start falling on your head, the good thing is, they’re waterproof.
This sensibility has given them success both here and overseas, and it’s great to see an Australian company using their design smarts on such a great product. If you ride, you need to shine. And until all over illuminated foil jumpsuits are perfected (research is ongoing), this is a pretty darn good way.
