micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The light is a gimmick, because red light being cast onto a person isn't very visible. I DO, however, love the Nitecore BR25 front light, which makes your body and bike visible from the front and side as it casts down.
If you actually want to be seen from behind, you should have reflectors around your ankles so the movement and brightness will catch the attention of those behind you.
It's crazy that modern pedals do away with those reflectors, which would arguably be safer to have on your bike than a flashing light.
Maybe because they were invented by a Nazi?
Rabbit hole
Jk, obviously: Reflectors good, fascists bad
