Fasten one end to the jersey pocket and the other it the bottom hem of the jersey. The clip is designed to hold tight without causing damage you jersey fabric AND you can still easily get your bits in and out of your pocket.
    * Using two Fibre Flare™ .. (twin packs available) fix one to your centre jersey pocket and the other to your seat post.With both on the strobe program each unit will pulse with the other in a flashing sequence loop in a vertical line.. rear light safety at its best.

Alternatively using two units mount them on your rear stays..


Advantages of Side Light Visibility WITH FIBRE FLARE

FACT: Nearly 70% of all nighttime Bicycle-Car collisions are due to inadequate side visibility; (see source : http://www.johnforester.com/Articles/Lights/cpscreq.htm.) That's a frightening statistic 70%, yet front and rear regulatory bicycle lights are designed to and required to only point / illuminate in a forward and backward direction...

Common headlights and taillights illumination generally can not be seen on extreme angles, because they are based on 'uni-directional' light sources; meaning they can be seen brightly from 'one' primary direction. Fibre Flare™ is unique as it emits a high intensity 'omni-directional' light output which is visible from nearly every direction. Fibre Flare™ does this by distributing its internal LED light sources via its fibre optic core which scatters the LED light along the length of the flexible fibre optic.

Mount the Fibre Flare on your seat-stay, underneath your down-tube or top-tube and Cars entering from intersections, side streets, parking lots, and driveways will see you clearer and faster from a 'side vis' perspective using Fibre Flare™ Tail Lights than compared to common bicycle headlights and taillights.
