While the evenings are still long, you can afford to be a bit more creative with your bike lights. And in any case, your bicycle does such a good job of keeping you fit, reducing congestion and safeguarding the environment that it deserves its very own halo.
The VeloHalo uses loops of LED lights to transform your wheels into ethereal discs of light – white for the front and red for the rear.
The wheel lights are waterproof and have a 20-hour battery life before they need recharging via the USB port. The design is unnoticeable during daylight hours, fits almost every type of wheel and requires no tools to fit.
The VeloHalo lights are not recommended for shrinking violets. In fact, so confident is the company that its wheel lights will win you admiring glances, they offer a no-quibble money-back guaranteed if your lights have not received a compliment after 10 nights of cycling. Halo-Effect™ Money Back Guarantee
1 compliment on your VeloHalo in 10 nights of cycling or your money back.
A set of VeloHalo wheel lights costs £48.99 to from hikari.bike but we have a set to give away.

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 over 26 years we have been providing straightforward, affordable bicycle insurance. Whether you use your bike to commute, shop, race or amble in the park, ETA Bicycle Insurance has you covered.
Claire
These look great! Why doesn’t every bike have lights like this anyway?!
Sharon Priestley
My son lives only for his beloved Carrera Vendetta affectionately called Vanessa. These rims would look spectacular on his bike, for when he goes out with his squad and does wheelies. Would look lovely at night, and keep him safe due to being visible.
Anna Shakoor-Green
I have a bicycle called Violet who would love to be lit up like this.
Peter Clark
Funky lights!
CraigS-A
Living in Scotland and cycling/commuting all year round I face some miserable and dark mornings/evenings. These would help me be seen and improve my mood knowing i look a lot cooler (well i would think so).
Ema
Great lights for winter!
Alastair Seagroatt
Scottish nights can be long and deserve cheering up.
Dom Reed
These are great! They’d make me easy to spot and cheer me up as the nights draw in
Sian Lane
This would greatly aid my mission to make my bike look like a Christmas tree on wheels!
David MK
What a bright idea! I’d like to say ‘Halo’ to these!
Andrew Harmsworth
My bike is recovering from a broken rear axle (thank you, Cambs CC!) and an over-tired chain, so it would definitely feel better about itself with a set of halo lights! 😇
Robert
They do look pretty brilliant. Or is that “pretty” AND “brilliant”?
But…
Although they are not removable, they do look nickable.
So if they do get stolen from the bike, will they be covered by my bike insurance?
Also, can you get replacement batteries?
Charlotte
My bike was given to me for a really amazing price by my very kind local bike shop after its twin got stolen when it was just 2 weeks old (and stupidly I hadn’t got round to insuring it yet). So it’s pretty special and deserves a treat!
Matt B
After an injury enforced 4 week period totally off the bike, aka purgatory, I have been having some pretty hellish😈 bike envy, and driven my family to depths of irritation! I have to get the miles in for my first closed roads 100 soon, so having a bike halo would make me more of a saint, and less of a sinner!, 😇😇
sara garside
My daughter is qualifying as a nurse soon, and will be cycling too and from the hospital with dark early mornings and late nights.
These may go a long way to stop me from worrying about her !
Michael
For my bike must sparkle even more, all will stare and say that is one cool guy.
Pete
These certainly get you noticed….but that’s the general idea. Yeah!
David
They look great but I presume they’re not legal?
Richard Alpagot
I bought a white bike to be as visible as possible. I these would add to that measure while more elegant than those spinner lights on the spokes.
Ian
I have 2 lights on the front of my bike, 2 on the back, another on my jacket, reflectors front and back as well as on the wheels and pedals and my jacket is hi-vis range with reflective stripes (there are more on my waterproof trousers if it’s raining).
Despite this apparently I was invisible to the motorist who pulled out in front of me and the lady who forgot she was overtaking me when she tried to turn left.
Apparently I need these lights on my wheels too.
David Hunt
Anything to make a bike more visible at night is worthwhile. These lights will certainly stand out and will make drivers take notice. I want a set!
Simon Newell
I feel I need a free set of Halo wheel lights to help me be seen on my 3 nights a week that I attend the local Sea Cadet training nights. And whilst trying to set a good example to the today’s younger generation (& there parents ) cycle the short journey by bike in all but the very worst weather.
John
My bike never complains, it is always there for me and takes me wherever I want to go. In short, it is a real saint…and what should saints have – halos!
Andrew Cox
My bike rides like a saint, pure, reliable and true. Now its halos can keep me safe too.
TheCyclist
Yes! At last! A lighting system that means I can TRULY be SEEN! I am so weary of feeble and pathetic excuses like “I never saw you.” These lights will definitely take away ALL excuses without fail. One set for me definitely, please. 🙂
Max
My girlfriend would be delighted to pimp her bike with these LEDs
Pat Hagen
These would so cheer me up on my late night commute home from work
Mark B
This would be great. It would compliment the halo on my head too!
Gavin
These look like a bright idea – a very rounded idea. Yes please.
Damian Connaughton
The wheels on the bike certainly go round with these on!
The next Lance
Fantastic!
These would make me feel like a kid again, pretending to ride a light cycle from Tron!
Peter Chisnall
Blinding!
Jim Woodlingfield
These lights would be fantastic for the Dunwich Dynamo, a treat for the bike but not so sure about my legs!
TD
Cycling on unlit roads with bright headlights of artics & also in the city where there are so many lights, these would help to make me stand out & keep me safe.
Wesley
A great way to look like a mobile fairground ride!
Luke
As someone who lives and breathes cycling these are perfect for me, I commute to and from work, university and work on behalf of deliveroo in a busy city.
These would massivley reduce the blindspots to cars keeping me safe and look awesome to the other riders as a trend setter fot safety. Being on the shift from 17:00-23:00 in the winter last year I could of really done with these, and hope to get some for the following ‘winter is coming’ XD
newportpaul
There will be reports of UFO’s
Christina
I’d love these enlightening additions to my bike – it would definitely make me feel safer and more noticed, especially when coming home from work when the nights draw in.
Jerv
Shine on!
Stephen
Super lights providing great all round visibility and they would supplement my legal lights wonderfully. Thanks for the competition.
Mark
Nice safety feature for my winter commutes and SO PRETTY!
Gillian
A friend once described my winter commuting bike as looking like a Christmas tree, which I took as a compliment. These would complete the look!!
Bryn
I’ve been looking for something to improve my side on nighttime visibility after a couple of frights, thank you very much
Els
As the somewhat reluctant cyclist in a bike-filled family, I’ve historically tended to try and avoid cycling whenever possible. However, I have accepted that after getting my offer to study at Cambridge in September, and realising that my student loan won’t cover both my insatiable appetite for biscuits and public transport, my lovely bike will soon be my only way to get around. As well as being an important safety feature for a newbie cyclist, these lights would be a beautiful addition to my bike and might even mean I really enjoy riding it! There is also little more exciting than the prospect of being known as the glowing student (some may say biscuit-delivering angel) of Cambridge!
Conor Clarke
With the amount of bad drivers that don’t pay attention to cyclists, even during the summer months, these would be brilliant to be seen by during the long Irish winter. Also I could create envy amongst my cycling comrades.
KCF
Lights like these would be the difference I need to feel confident about commuting on a night shift by bike. Always worried I won’t be seen! These are fab!
Neil Parry
These look great. They’d make me easy to spot to and from work.
Danny Hartgen
These would be great for my commute home, the brighter I am the more chance of me being seen.
Ian Harvey
These would be perfect for my winter rides for added visability from the sides
Ed Pearce
The hall looks great, but can you give me wings too?
Jacqui taylor
Because I didn’t make the casting call for Tron
