Toilet trip inspires bike light idea

Bike lights are inevitably lost, stolen, break off, run out of batteries or otherwise stop working. Replacing them usually means a trip to the bike store, not easy given our busy working lives. What if you had a stock of inexpensive, easy to apply bike lights at home or even in your backpack? This is where a recent trip to the loo inspired a potential solution. To maintain hygiene and freshness, there is a product that allows you to stamp a gel disc onto the inside of your toilet bowl using a tube-like applicator. What if you could apply this concept to the bike light conundrum? Each applicator would have ten (non dissolvable) gel discs containing a red or white LED light and a small lithium ion battery within the gel itself. The back of the disc is adhesive and can stick to any surface, flat or rounded. If they fall off or stop working for some reason that’s no problem. Just pop another on there. 

The gel disc applicator could be applied to disposable bike lights.
