The small crew at Portland Design Works (PDW) is a fun-loving group that creates awesome gear for the everyday cyclist. I was able to get a hold of one of their clever tail lights recently, the Gravity Plus USB Tail Light . This is a cool, unique tail light that has an accelerometer built right into it. (Photos / Ron Frazelle) Having an accelerometer built into the light simply means the accelerometer will detect deceleration and automatically activate a second, super bright, solid beam light to warn following traffic that you’re slowing down.

It’s bigger than my old “go-to” battery-powered rear light, but not so big that it looks cumbersome or unsightly.
One of the other cool things about this tail light is that the Gravity Plus has a pretty long battery life of up to 30 hours of use in flash mode (80 lumens), or 12 hours in solid mode (20 lumens). When the brighter “brake light” comes on it blazes at a very bright 100 lumens. In Use
