The Down Low Glow Bike Light Review

I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle, a few years back.  I was frustrated as I had the right of way AND was riding in a bike lane… Anyhow, after the accident I still had to share the road with cars and was a bit squeamish.  I worried about cars not seeing me, especially at night.   I originally covered myself in blinky lights, but found myself riding my bike less.  It was sad, really.  Until… the Down Low Glow, brought to you by Rock the Bike.

The Down Low Glow was created by passionate cyclists in Berkeley, California.  Check out the video brought to you by Fossil Fool.  As he explains, the Down Low Glow elucidates the ground under your bike.  The Down Low Glow not only promotes visibility as a general, but from the sides, as well as the front and back.  The illumination gives other riders and cars a visual of your space on the road, creating the illusion you take up more space than you do, coined GSR technology or (Gimme Some Room!)

The Down Low Glow weighs in at just over a pound, so it won’t burden your load.  The weight in encapsulated in its rechargeable battery pack.  The light tubes are not as dainty as they look.  The light tubes are amazingly lightweight, as well as water resistant.  Remarkably they hold up against the rubbish the city streets flip up.

The Down Low Glow is simple to install on your bike, it took me about five minutes to figure out the first time, and quicker thereafter.  The Down Low Glow comes with a beautifully illustrated instructional manual with loads of info and an email if you have any further questions/ comments about he Down Low Glow.

The creators of the Down Low Glow stand behind their product, offering a 30-day risk free guarantee.  The Glow comes in six colors, so you can install more than one if you would like.  The DLG is available in ice blue, fossilized amber, envy green, plush red, royal purple, and hot pants pink.

I never thought I could be so styley on my bike, and I feel super safe.  I get complements on the Down Low Glow, and not always from cyclist.  The down low glow is a head turner, keeps you seen, and marks your territory on the road.  Thanks, Rock the Bike!
