We've talked about many bike accessories over the years, but a recent find left us speechless—or rather, wondering what happens if you get in an accident with a mini lantern of sorts attached to your bike. It's better than batteries and you'd look quite steampunk chic, but holy cow. Is it safe?
We ran across this concept over at Yimmy's Yayo via Dude Craft and although there's no link to purchase the product, we'd just like to take a moment to enjoy the fact that this product exists somewhere in the world.
Now please don't try strapping a taper candle to your handlebars in attempts to replicate this set up. \We're sure it involves a few safety measures as well as that nifty glass window that lets the light through but keeps the breeze out (though obviously air gets in somewhere).
What do you think of the idea? Would you ever be comfortable riding with fire attached to your bike?

Howard Butcher Bloc...
YES! That not only looks so cool but it is such a neat way to light up your bike journeys. Does it work well?
Safe? That tiny thing couldn't hold enough fuel to even be threatening. It's lighter sized.
That is awesome... I'm sure one could be made that is batter powered which also be more reliable for light. It could be as simple as using an existing bike light and putting it in a mini lantern. Totally going to do someday if I find materials!
I prefer old-fashioned bicykle generators. Why fuel something you can run on your own movement?
