Looking for a new bike light because some dirt bag stole your old one? Well look no further. Fresh out of Cambridge, MA., two M.I.T. Grads have come up with a slick looking light that is more likely to stay put on your daily ride. Utilizing a secure torx bit, the Defender bike light by Gotham Bike Defense requires a much less common tool for removal than your average Cateye or Planet Bike. The Defender is made of lightweight aluminum and boasts six super bright LED’s powered off of 3 x AA’s.

*I wanted to mention this product as they seem to have some great backing (their Kickstarter hit the funding threshold in 3 days) and because this is an interesting design made right here in the Boston area. I don’t have any affiliation with the guys behind this, but I’d be happy to take a free light if they feel so inclined to send one my way.

Check them out on Kickstarter, Twitter, and their future website.
