Probably, but on the back, where they don't actually have to _work_, they'd be pretty good as brake
lights (which I believe was the original idea) to stop nutters from crunching into you when you slow
down or stop.Steve

Years back I ordered my husband some roller blade brakes that threw a big rooster tail of sparks. It
gave a sort of Wile E. Coyote/Acme Rocket Skate effect that was truly funny to see. Impressed the
heck out of the neighborhood kids...I think something like that, only for bikes, would be cooler than a light (except maybe in hilly
terrain during very dry weather).Kathleen

I guess, wouldn't a blinkie be more visible and useful, or just stop riding with people who run into
you would be an option.

In a group of evenly paced singlespeeds, knowing when the chango in front of you has brabbed a
handful of brake lever can be useful information in momentum management.Don't get me wrong, these pad are silly and kitschy, but amidst that there is a nice unintended
consequence of singlespeed usefulness.A

Although somewhat silly on a MTB they might be a good accessory for a commuter bike. Of course my
commuter has coaster brakes, but one with V's might do well with these.Matt

Fvcking Stupid! What kind of idiot doesn't know when his/her brake pads are worn?

Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind
should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.
