Because what a bike really needs is truck nutz.

OTOH, I've seen an umbrella carrier which seemed kind of badass.

It's your right to have truck (or bike) nuts. It's my right to silently judge you for having them.

I like it more than the truck ones.  Anyone who rides a bike deserves to display this more than a truck owner.

I wouldn't personally use one though.

I am not taking back my original comment, but I did read a little about the couple that designed them...seem like a fun couple...aside from the whole bike nutz thing.

The way they sway under the cyclist when pedalling hard . . . it's pretty eww.  But I suspect it would attract attention, which is the purpose of the bike light.

The use of "Ave Maria" as the background music in the ad is hilarious.

Genius. They are making some serious coin off of this. I find it distasteful (and humorous), but they're up to $78k CAD already. That's nuts. <womp womp>
