Yes, it is too bright to use it while having someone ride behind you, BUT the Hotshot DOES allow you to change the brightness level or flashing speed. Oddly they don't really give much instruction on this useful feature. I think you can only adjust the brightness in solid mode, not sure if that carries over to flash mode, but I think a solid light is probably better if you are riding in a group anyway.
