Vancouver, BC\u2014Waterproof\u00a0Knog Blinder<\/a> bike lights are now available at Canadian bike shops<\/strong>.

A visitor tests if a Knog Blinder bike light stays dry \u00a0at the Canadian product launch in Vancouver.<\/p><\/div>\n

Recounts Live to Play Sports\u00a0product manager Sean Glass, “A few of us were chatting at the Blinder launch when Knog principal Mike Lelliott turned on a Blinder to demonstrate its brightness.”<\/p>\n

“One bike shop owner looked doubtful<\/strong> about its waterproofness,” says Glass, “So I accidentally<\/em> dropped a Blinder into her glass. She got so excited by the glowing effect that she showed it around the room.”<\/p>\n

“By the end of the night, everyone’s drink had a bike light in it. It literally brightened up the event.”<\/p>\n
