With a little over three weeks before the end of British Summer Time, it pays to check and if necessary renew your winter lights. In honour of the change of season we have a light set worth £50 to give away. However, don’t think for a moment that you need to spend big bucks to get good illumination. One of our favourite rear lights is the high intensity light from Cree available for only £8 from Wilko
The light set we have to giveaway includes a USB-rechargeable Volt 200XC and Rapid Mini. To be in with a chance of winning, simply leave us a comment below.
Ethical cycle insurance
Check your small print for so-called ‘new-for-old’ replacement – many insurers use the term, but if your bicycle is more than a few years old, they devalue it severely. This means you are left out of pocket when you come to replace it.
With ETA cycle insurance, however old the bike, if it’s stolen you get enough to buy a new model. Furthermore, every cycle insurance policy you buy from us helps support the work of the ETA Trust, our charity campaigning for a cleaner, safer transport future. No wonder The Good Shopping Guide judges us to be Britain’s most ethical insurance company.

Light me up ETA!
PLEASE…………

Here’s hoping
Su
Ooooh – they’d really brighten up my winter!
johnny faro
There must be borrowers in the shed as when the nights draw in there are never enough lights for the family fleet. These would be an awesome addition to one of the kids bikes
Douglas Milsom
With these CATEYE lights, I could see like a cat – in fact I’d fit a set to my cat if I could!
Philip
Be seen. Be safe.
robert
I’ve got one of those Cateye rear lights
They are rearly good! BUT BE CAREFUL
See that on-off button in the picture?
If you’re not paying attention, you’ll mistake it for the very similar (red but feels the same) USB socket cover on the other end of the light.
And if you prise the button open, instead of the cover, a tiny wee plastic part will spring out and never be seen again…
Kath
Yes please!
Linda R
Please lighten my load…..
Steve K
Now that’s a bright idea …
John thys

Tim Dukes
Oooh, pretty lights! I use to have a set of Cateye RC230s a long time ago, halcyon days.
Darren C
Extract of a poem by David Whalen:
“If you could see what it tis, that cats can see
It would amaze, perplex and astound you
For they can see, most easily
The sights and worlds that swirl around you
Seen by you as a half glimpsed shadow…
A furtive movement from the corner of one’s eye
Unseen by you, behind that sly shadow
Is where the other worlds lie.”
Mark D.
God said, “Let there be light: and there was light”. Thanks to ETA and Cateye!
