Note: This bicycle was badly damaged in July 2010 while traveling with us on our Big 2010 Road Trip when a rack on the rear of our truck failed, resulting in the bike being dragged along the roadway at 65 MPH for some distance. It's unknown when or if the bicycle can be repaired. :(

• Two-color (red/amber) Sho-Me 12V LED flasher to the rear - 1/2 mile visibility in daylight
