Customer reviews
7" of bright glowing or blinking red -- great design -- very useful 
by .. Ronald Abbott (San Diego, CA USA)
I was pleasantly surprised upon receiving my BRT Strap. I didn't realize nearly the whole strap, nearly all of the yellow surface you see in the picture (7" x 13/16"), glows or blinks bright red -- so it IS a taillight. It works great. It's lightweight, easy to use and comfortable, plus fits in my hip-pack nicely. I use it as a leg-light (above my left calf) for biking or late afternoon inline skating. Having a light move as you pedal, and highlight the left edge of your bike provides a major safety advantage. I highly recommend the BRT Strap. I may be buying more. It should make a nice gift item.
Be aware that the BRT Strap won't work until you pull a little plastic tab from the edge of the battery compartment that protects the battery from discharge before customer use.
A few more nighttime bicycle safety recommendations:
Don't miss the Planet Bike Sport Spot 4 LED Bicycle Light with Head, and Handlebar Mounts and Planet Bike Blinky "3H" 3-Led Rear Bicycle Light with Self Leveling Helmet Mount as a combo to mount on your helmet. It's fantastic to be able to point a light at drivers just by looking at them, plus the tail light swings and thus sort of flashes without using the flash mode. These lights are very light weight. I hardly know I have them mounted on my helmet. Most people who see me with them on my helmet think they're great. These two should be sold as a combo since the headlight takes three batteries, and the rear light takes one, so you can easily recharge four NiMH batteries at a time.
If you bike much at night, do yourself a favor and get all three, the BRT Strap, the Sport Spot, and Blinky "3H".
I also strongly recommend a bright safety vest, jersey, or jacket for day and night biking. A good one can provide a dramatic reduction in scary incidents -- people turning in front of you or coming by too close. I try hard to always use one -- it makes an amazing difference -- people seem to have an automatic reflex to be much more cautious and wait for me to pass when they see my safety vest.
These are a great little addition to your night riding arsenal by .. J. Silva (Los Angeles,CA)
I often use illuminte leg warmers that are highly reflective(not sold on Amazon that I know of.) But as we head into warm summer nights I use these straps more often instead. They don't seem like much but the constant movement of your your leg lets drivers know that you are there.
Also, I've seen on rare occsasion police officers give tickets to people who don't have a reflector on their pedals. Reflectors on pedals often times fall off and are hard to replace. Sometimes the only way to replace them is to buy a whole new pedal. This is a good alternative. An officer would probably not ticket you if you were missing your pedal reflector but had this on your foot instead.
I don't know if they reflect as far as the ads say, but i've had someone view mine and could see them at least a few hundred feet away.

This is the one to buy! by .. L. Sherman ()
We read about this light first when it was praised by the NY Times. They were right! My wife runs in the dark and this light protects her better and is more comfortable than any other light that previously she has used. L. Sherman
Great piece of safety gear by .. Richard C. Fitzgerald ()
Definitely the coolest and most effective way to be safe and seen if you're on the road in a low light situation. I wear mine running and cycling. Very compact and light weight. A quality product.
Light up! by .. Shawn S. (Washington, D.C.)
I commute by bike through the city and having these on my legs gives me a lot more confidence that I won't be broadsided.
They work great! Good value.
