I don’t ride anymore, but that didn’t stop Facebook from showing me an ad for this system, and I found it interesting. Thought I’d share here.
Basically it’s a module that will activate the brake light when engine braking on a bike, either flashing or solid depending on your preference. It’s supposed to help cagers recognize that you’re slowing down even though you aren’t actually applying either brake. Seems like a smart idea if it works with your make/model. Looks like it’s $60 with a lifetime warranty (which it ought to have anyway since it’s super simple) from their site when using the code LIFETIME30.
I know some people prize the idea of slowing during an encounter without activating the brake light—to the point where there is occasional debate regarding brake light kill switches. I can kinda understand that, but I think on a bike it’s way more important more often to keep idiots off your tail.
