It seems to me that the FLASH FLAG would be a better option (though they are no longer available (at least that I can find). The link I just provided says that the guy who runs the site can still get them, but when I try to contact him, there's a verification process that requires you look at a .jpg file for a passkey, and the link to the picture is broken, so apparently, there's no way to get a hold of him to ask if he can still get them. DOH!

I rarely see other bent riders in my area, and when I do I never see them with flags, hence my question. Anyone have a link for buying a flag kit? I have recently acquired BikeE RX that I've just started riding, and I'm feeling a bit exposed, what with the black seat-back and all. One great thing I hadn't counted on: the ease of hand signaling on a bent: it's a lot more comforable to signal on a bent! Add in some glo-glovs and maybe the Safe Turn, though I have only used the Glo-Glovs (which work GREAT!)
