"Possibly the most eye-catching and awe-inducing bike accessory I`ve ever seen. Most bike lights focus on making sure the rider is seen, but these make sure you`re seen, cheered at, flagged down, and followed (in a good, fun way)."

"Yeah, this thing is fun... I do feel safer and more visible. The light spreads nicely and reflects off the pavement as I ride, and from the side, the whirling lights on my wheel are unmissable."
- Urban Cyclist (Full product review 2009-09-15)
"a car pulled up and then stayed just behind me for about 3/4 mile. They slowly pulled up alongside and this girl yells out the window - and this is a direct quote "we love the lightshow- you should just park it and charge admission!"

"They say they`re waterproof and they`re right. the first night I put them on there was a HUGE storm and I rode in some super heavy rain. at one point there was a puddle so deep cars couldn`t go through and there was a cab stalled in the middle. I was on a three-wheel bike so I went for it. I`m talking half my wheel under water and the lights were fine. ... I even got asked by a cop at stoplight were I got them. you know they`re cool when a Chicago cop asks about them instead of yelling at you!!!"

"Visibility with these lights is quite astonishing, and the light is visible from the front and back as well as the sides."
- BikeCommuters.com (Florida) 2008-10-2
"It made me giddy. I remember thinking to myself that this was a real gadget. It didn`t just temporarily fill a consumeristically produced void in my ego; it caused a genuine emotional reaction, like a pretty girl or a puppy, and that made my heart to quiver with fondness. I got all giggly. I wanted to share it with someone. So I ran upstairs, knocked on my neighbor`s door, and asked him if he`d bring his three-year old son outside. I spun the wheel for him: he sighed, giggled, then started wildly laughing and jumping up and down. His pupils glowed like plasma globes. I knew exactly how he felt: I was sharing the MonkeyLectric with the peer of my own inner child."
