As others have said if more people thought that it was needed, someone would make them.
I've been coming here a long time, and can't remember this ever coming up.
I disagree. I see how car riders react to small scooters, many of them even smaller than my bike. They take the small brake and turn signal lights as real legit safety and operating vehicle lights, cus that's what they are. My bike is also such a vehicle.
The notion that these are not needed for safety just because you ride a bicycle is silly and many bikers get run over every year without them. They do help even the score.
