About Planet Bike
In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.

Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.

Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company’s short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world’s first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike’s financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Bicycling lights matter by Elijah R. Cory
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R33TK6T4XQNSDT This little light does it all and doesn’t hog batteries. Small, easily mounted, very bright with directed light. I gave it four stars not for this light, but for the engineers at Planet Bike..the 1 watt LED…is about the same price but with twice the illumination potential…only trouble is…the 1 watt does NOT have “blinking” capacity. As a cyclist, you want all your lights to have a steady mode and a blink mode..which is why I bought this. You can see the pics yourselves. It’s a very good light. Highly recommended.

Wow, a very good light by Shi wah
I’m the type of guy who rides a bike every night and for the first time I feel like I found the perfect light ever. It’s very small and lite weight. It has one LED light which is bright but not too bright. If you were going to go really fast in the dark, you wouldn’t be able to see everything with this light but it is good enough for people to see you at a very far distances. The part that I love about this led light is that it only needs 2 AA batteries. So far I been riding for weeks and haven’t had to change them yet, unlike my old light which needed 4 AA batteries and only last up one week. If you’re looking for a light that doesn’t take too a lot of power but still gives a strong light beam I would have to say that this is the one to get

Its ok…. by Ricardo Acevedo
The power of the light is actually quite weak. Its bright in dark places but in lighted areas the beam of light is deluted. The light only provides a beam of light so don’t expect it to light up the whole street. On the plus side, if your use of the light is to get notice by motorist, this IS a good light. It provides excellent visibility for motorist.

planet bike blaze light by cynic9
bright enough for commuting around town. the flash mode is a nice feature, & probably makes you more visible, while saving battery life. affordable, compact, easy to use. the negatives are with the helmet mounting: straps are not long enough to span 2 helmet slots, & the system does not have a swivel to adjust the angle.
