The article discusses the author's experience testing various bike lights, focusing on the Knog Mid Cobber rear light which excels in side visibility—important for urban riding. The author highlights their preference for designs that offer additional light output to the sides, especially after experiencing near misses with cars. Overall, while the Knog Mid Cobber is praised for its functionality and urban suitability, it may not be the best option for long rides in the countryside due to perceived limitations in brightness or range.
Most rear bike lights, quite understandably, take the form of one or more rear-facing LED bulbs. The danger is usually from behind you.
Side visibility has been a real focus for me, having had several near misses with cars, and in addition to the magnificent Magicshine SEEMEE 300, the Knog Mid Cobber offers more than most in this department.
A lot of my testing this year has focussed on front lights, but I've still been trying a variety of different rear options over the last few months.
Knog Mid Cobber offers more than most in this department. It's a brilliant light but isn't perfect, and is more suited for around town than it is for extended night riding.
