Portland Design Works Fenderbot Taillight
Best vintage style safety light for dedicated urban commuters.
A clever, permanent lighting solution that eliminates the need to remove your taillight every time you park. By bolting directly to the fender, it stays put and ready for the next ride, though you trade the convenience of quick-release portability for theft resistance and a cleaner aesthetic.
