Pedalite Anklelite Solar Bike Light and Anklet
This ankle bracelet looks like the celebrity accessory for all the guys who get caught drunk driving and need a 24-hour electronic babysitter, but it’s actually a bike light that keeps you jeans out of the chain. The Pedalite Anklelite comes to us from the same company that made those self-charging bike light pedals, only this time you don’t have to replace your steel cages with some barefoot-riding plastic toys. The Pedalite Anklelite is solar, so you don’t need to change batteries or worry about remembering to turn it off.

Alas, another product that makes sense but isn’t available. If I was an inventor (instead of a lazy guy living overseas), I’d have the product available when I started the buzz. In 3 or 4 months when these are available, everyone will have moved on to something else.
