The rubber bands don't last too long out in the weather and I wonder if they diminish how effective the light is.

I do like how it looks like a reflector, I hope this keeps the thieves from noticing it. I wish they hadn't equipped it with a quick release tab and had instead fixed it permanently though. I'm tempted to try model glue on it.

Have to agree with those saying that it isn't a good idea to mount a white light rear facing though. FWIW, Cateye makes the same light in red, but there are better rear blinkies out there. I'm partial to the Mars 4.0
