Summary: Almost makes capitalism worth it!
Comment: I'm pretty skeptical of most products and companies. If you are not being outright farmed, even the good products are not all that. But, every time I turn on this blinky, "Wow, that is f'ing great!". It is stupidly wonderful. Planet Bike already made the second best blinky, the Seven, which is really good and somewhat cheaper. They could have just improved that a little and been fine. Instead they gave us the alien technology blinky from the future.
Seriously, this is almost perfect. Solid, good mounts, convenient, excellent battery life, good size, inexpensive if not cheap, almost too bright, very attention getting blink pattern. It is so effective that you can hear when it is on just by the sound of overtaking traffic. It would be nice if it had a wider coverage angle to the sides and up and down, but this is difficult to do. The Planet Bike Seven has extra LEDs that point sideways to help with this, but it is nowhere near as bright (it would be a good complement to the Superflash).
Planet bike also make the best headlight mount in the business. Unfortunately, their LED headlights fail to impress. Hopefully they will put the Superflash team on the headlights soon.
The other blinkys are just sad. Except the DiNotte, which is sexy, bright, beautiful and well over a hundred dollars and might get stolen and make you cry.

Summary: Great light
Comment: Installs and removes very easily. Very bright. I has 2 small LED's that blink (2x) and then the big one at the top flashes. The top LED is very bright. Mine is mounted to the seat post. The light has 2 options: (1) flashing mode or (2) steady mode (just the top, bright LED stays on constantly.

Summary: Flash pattern is ideal
Comment: I have the "stealth" version of this light. Same light but with all clear housing. As a car driver and a bike commuter I know that there have been times I have been driving when I knew there was a flashing light somewhere in the area, but it took me a few seconds to localize it.. i.e., figure out exactly where it was coming from. This light is different.. the flash pattern consists of flash flash FLASH, with the third flash being provided by a brighter LED. The two dimmer flashes help ensure the light will be easy on batteries, while still helping drivers figure out where you are, especially in rain. The bright flash will catch their eye first, allowing teh dimmer flashes to let them home in on you.
I have been considering buying a second one to leave on in the steady mode.. that way you'd have to be near blind to not see me at night!

Summary: ABSOLUTELY five stars!!
Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2RT8V7R5PY1Q6 This thing is a "MUST HAVE" for any half-way serious cyclist. Day or night, it puts out amazing light so hopefully some dummy in a car won't run over you. Well worth the bucks.
