Dear John Martin, (stolen lights) The new Catye I described in my last post comes off in a flash and can be put in any shirt pocket. Why would someone have to leave their $30.00 "flashlight" on the bike. And being at night, such a small flashlight is handy anywhere. And the led red light, --for all the years I have had that, I have used the "back pocket clip" rather than fastening it to the seat post.
