LightSKIN LED: World’s most stylish bicycle light

There’s no legal requirement for a car to have headlamps, but that doesn’t stop them being fitted to every model. So why are things so different when it comes to bicycles?

The LightSKIN LED seat post is a step towards factory-fitted bicycle lights; the five LEDs look beautifully sleek and are impossible to leave at home.

Two AA batteries located inside the seat post provide up to 400 hours of illumination. To change the batteries, the seat post is simply removed and new batteries inserted. Thanks to a silicone coating, the LightSKIN seatpost is completely weatherproof.

Cycle insurance - including theft of parts

ETA bicycle insurance covers parts and fixed accessories as standard. It means if someone pinches your seat post, handlebars or quick release wheels you are covered. And because we understand it’s not always possible, we don’t insist you secure the wheels.

One simple policy

For 24 years we have been providing straightforward, affordable bicycle insurance. Whether you use your bike to commute, shop, race or amble in the park, ETA cycle insurance has you covered.

Many cycle insurers offer very limited cover, charging extra for features we believe should come as standard – such as third party cover, personal accident or extension of your cover to family and friends. ETA cycle insurance provides one fully-comprehensive package for total peace of mind, whatever your cycling needs.

• Theft, accidental damage and vandalism
• New-for-old replacement – no devaluation
• £5m Third Party cover on any bike
• £20k Personal Accident cover on any bike
• Family and friends covered

• Worldwide cover for cycle touring
• Cycle Breakdown cover – including punctures
• Replacement cycle hire
• Free legal advice
• Race events and triathlons covered
