Avid cyclists have plenty of things that they need to be fully aware of when taking to the open road for a ride. Even on casual cruises around your neighborhood on your bike you’ve got to watch out for motor vehicles, other cyclists, obstacles in the road and animals in order to ensure that your ride is as safe and comfortable as possible. What you shouldn’t have to watch out for is a piece of equipment used primarily for safety breaking down and causing you bodily harm.
A recent recall of lithium ion batteries used to power a bicycle light from a popular manufacturer has made a piece of biking equipment designed for safety a major concern for injury. The batteries can potentially overheat and lead to a fire which could conceivably injure riders directly or result in an accident that could cause injury.
