The Curve rear light is the latest offering from Bookman – specialists in stylish and functional bike accessories.
The Cree LED puts out 37 lumens and runs continuously for up to 24 hours. The light costs around £25 and the USB charger, which recharges the batteries from empty in only 2 hours, will save a small fortune in batteries.
The completely weatherproof light promises to keep you visible through rain, hail or snow.
“Our inspiration comes from the humming bike life we see in urban Europe where it is evident that getting on a bike is not reason enough to disregard dressing well. Our goal is to inspire more of you style-conscious people to see that traveling in the saddle can be a way of life that combines style, convenience, design and fun.” Bookman

Environmentally friendly cycle insurance
On the face of it, one cycle insurance policy is much like another, but the devil is the detail. How much excess you will be charged is just one of the things that varies wildly between providers. Another is so called ‘new-for-old’ replacement – many insurers use this term, but if your bicycle is more than a few years old, devalue it severely. This means you are left out of pocket when you come to replace it.
ETA cycle insurance has a low standard excess of 5% (minimum £25) and offers a new-for-old for life – however old the bike, if it’s stolen you get enough to buy a new model.
For 25 years we have been providing straightforward, affordable bicycle insurance. Whether you use your bike to commute, shop, race or amble in the park, ETA Cycle Insurance has you covered. We never devalues bikes no matter their age, allow you to buy your replacement bike wherever you like, replace stolen quick release components and we handle claims in-house. Can your insurance provider say the same?
We have been voted Britain’s most ethical insurer. Furthermore, every cycle insurance policy you buy helps support the work of the ETA Trust, our charity campaigning for a cleaner, safer transport future.

Bevan Craddock
Just joined a local cycling club – given up my Claud Butler racing bike. Now have mountain bike given to me by grandson. At 81 I need to be clearly visible to all other road users as I cycle around my community. My handbell is too heavy to carry too. Can you provide a battery powered loud bell too?
Alex
That’s a great idea!
Mike Croker
‘K’-mark?
Mike Croker
Ah, it flashes, so no ‘K’-mark.
Low battery warning?
Nick
Maybe this time?
Francis Voon
It’s curved but is it aero?
Mark
I have always been attracted to curves
Darren C
I would love to add this to my bike, a great piece of design.
Rick Camden
Good looking light if fitted to a seat post, but what if you need to fix on a seat stay?
Mark B
I’d like to win this!
Dave Mann
Avoid having to swerve when you’ve got a curve!
Myles
24 hour battery life?! It’d help in next years transcontinental race!
Phil
Me please
Ed Plowden
Looks like a great light
Countryman
A most efficient shape, designed for the job and economical to run. What more could one ask for?
Raf
Now that is a beautiful accessory!
James Russell
Please let me have one. Fixed to the rear seat post, it’ll be my only chance of being ahead of the curve.
Anthony
I trust they’ve sorted the switch – please let me try! So often the switch fails to change the flash mode, or even switch it off. I find it helps to VERY gently clean the contacts, both the gold comb and the black button.
btw, bad English: “Environmentally friendly”! Don’t we say “child friendly”, “user friendly”, “dog friendly” – as in friendly to children, users and dogs? So how can anything be friendly to the environmentally? It’s Environment friendly!
Rob Lewis
Looks a nice light, but pity it only appears to attach to the seat post – no good if you’ve got a rack bag or saddle bag.
Bruce
I like the idea of a broad view and a bright one at that. I’d love to win one.
Dave Buck
Looks great will make my bike look even better.
Colin
Looks great and the curved design will help with visibility on the angle as well as directly behind.
Pete Gateley
Beautiful in its curvy simplicity, l want one!

Jonathan Hunt
Looks like it could be a useful addition to my daily commute 🙂

Great idea. Curved design means it’s visible from a wider angle than usual.
George
Keeps the light on cycling.
