  1. Is there a rear light availabe that can be completely
    mounted on the bike without the aid of tools?

    All the rear lights that I've seen require a mount that
    remains on the bike when the light is removed. That
    irritates me when I need to drop the seat post. I can put
    the mount high up on the seat post but when wearing a long
    waterproof the light might not be seen. I've seen the Photon
    Backupz but I'm not convinced about the fastening mechanism.

    I'm after something like the products that are available for
    front lights that use either an integrated strap or bolt on
    mechanism.

    Cateye certainly used to make a rear light with a friction
    strap fixing, not seen them for a while though. You'd think
    they'd be very popular, would make switching the light
    between different bike easier too...

  3. Cateye does make that friction strap rear light. And you can
    get them at 1 860 443- 7323.
