Subject: What rear bike light do you use?
Looking for recommendations, wanting something that is bright, lasts, durability, and I would like it to have a reasonably wide field of view so it can be seen a little from the sides.

Thanks for any helps!

It's hard to beat the Planet Bike Superflash.  It's bright, solid, and cars know you're around.  I used two taillights on my commuter bike, one being the Superflash.  The other one is good also, but sometimes will turn off when hitting a good bump...

I have the Blackburn Mars rear light.  I've been told by other riders that they can see me form a long way away in the daylight.  It has two side yellow lights too.

PB superflash.  On blinking mode, it is so bright that it irritates riders behind you!

Cat Eye TI-ld610. Bright, different flashing patterns to annoy riders behind you and mounts well to the seat post.

Hello

I use one that has two settings-  random blink or solid red. When I ride early in the morning (dark) I use it on blink mode, plus I have a front head liight and wear a reflective vest.

Now I passed this guy on the way home riding blank out style & took a picture of him while I was stopped at a light.

PB Superflash is the most highly regarded bang for buck rear blinker out there. Ask on bike forums commuters/lighting, and this is far and away the favorite. I have two - they're great.

Can you mount any of these lights on a non-round (aero) seatpost?

So nobody has had problems with their Superflash? IF I can get mine to turn on - it's almost impossible to change modes, I have to smack it against my palm to get anything to work, AND it simply turns off whenever it feels like it. Maybe I just got a bad one.


However I do really like the mounting options and the belt clip works great for when I want to use it for a night run.
