Amoeba - The simplest "light" form: April 2009

With another storm on its way and the trails are still covered from the last storm, looking for some motivation. Found some good videos. That is all I got for now.

What is the Amoeba bike light?

The Amoeba is the smallest, lightest weight, lowest profile bike light out there!

You will never know you have a light on (of course, until you switch it on!) Just ask someone who has one, they are out there everywhere.

Are any of these factors important to you when choosing a light?

1. – Size (low profile)

2. - Weight

3. - Non proprietary batteries

4. - Customer service

5. - A light that is made by a bicyclist who uses his lights on an almost daily basis and knows the importance of reliability and shares the same passion for biking as you.
