It's a thingumy - a universal mount for bicycle lights

Do you seem to collect bike lights, but lose the brackets? No problem - thingumy is a clever strap made from upcycled inner tubes that allows you to strap front lights of any size to the back of your hand and rear lights to your ankle.

thingumy is adjustable so you can strap pretty much any bike light or small torch to the back of your hand...or ankle. This allows you to focus the light exactly where you want…on the road it might be a distracted driver waiting to make a turn…on a trail it might be overhanging branches or another obstruction beyond your field of view.

Another benefit of the thingumy is that a slight change of hand position gives a dipped or full-beam effect…useful if you're riding a trail at night and there are people on foot you don’t want to dazzle.

The design also makes it possible to carry locks, clothing...even bananas. And all without the need for brackets.

An ethical company like no other

Not only are we ethical, we campaign for sustainable transport. Sometimes that means protesting until a school gets the zebra crossing they've been refused, or running 60 roadshows this year to encourage people out of their cars, or fixing bicycles for free. Supporting this work is easy - you simply have to take out cycle insurance with us, cover that just happens to be excellent.

Unlike other insurers we never devalue your bike. And if you ride a carbon bike, rest assured we will never have a cracked frame repaired - we will always replace your bike with a new one. How many other insurers can say that? Find out more

..and it's not just cycle insurance that we offer. We provide home insurance, cycle insurance, travel insurance and breakdown cover - all while putting concern for the environment at the heart of all we do.
