10 genius life-hacks* for the Bell LED Bike Light

*For you less-hip readers, this means “tips.”

You know the Bell Rechargeable LED Bicycle Light as a long-lasting, all weather lamp that both improves visibility and how well you’re seen when on the road, but sometimes you need to get a little creative with your gear. Here are ten ways to life-hack your Bell Bike light!

1. Make a DIY camping lamp!
Fill an old gallon milk jug with water, then strap your LED bike light to it, for a diffuse, ambient light that’s perfect for picnic tables or inside a tent!

2. Holiday lights
Get a bunch and string them together for high-intensity cheer!
Or, just get some regular string lights. It’d be cheaper

3. Cosplay as a bike!
I … guess? I mean, maybe there’s a bicycle-themed Transformer or Gobot I’m not familiar with? This one’s your call.

4. An emergency road flare!
What? Okay, no, this one’s potentially dangerous. Don’t do this.

5. Safe-n-sane fire juggler batons!
Seriously, the more of these lists I read, the less sense they seem to make. They’re neither functional or aesthetically pleasing. All of these “hacks” seem to amount to strewing garbage around your home.

6. Remove the wires to make an emergency defibrillator for a small rodent or bird!
For real, has “life hack” just become code for “viral media filler material that could easily be handed off to an unpaid intern?”

7. As a holistic alternative to vaccinations!
Wow, no. I’m done here.

8. Mount the red lights above your door to signal for visitors to enter!
Okay, I don’t even care that I didn’t make it to ten. I’m out.
Double flips the bird on his way our the door.
