Coincidentally enough, I noticed one of those flashing brake lights the other day on the 3rd brake light of an SUV. DEFINITELY drew my attention to the thing, and the fact that it was stopping. My bike is currently sans brake light, and I was already thinking of custom fabricationg my own as per
Nighthawk's LED Brake Light topic. Now all I'll need to do is throw in a
relatively simple circuit to achieve that ever-so-noticeable flashing effect.
I'm still not sure why that huge honkin SUV needed one of those flashers, but I'll be more than happy to increase my visibility.
