Can the bag be collapsed displaying my taillight at night or would it have to be removed? Is a fender taillight preferable?

The bag is firm so not intended to collapse. I put my blinking tail light on the back of the bag. There is a strap made for a clip on tail light. The bag also has reflective material on it. Depending on the rack you mount the bag to, you may be able to attach your reflector to your rear rack.

It will not collapse. You might be able to mash it down and strap it, but I would recommend removing it. There is a strap on the back that you could mount a taillight to if you desire.

It can collapse if you velcro it or bungy it..otherwise it would have to be removed.

No you wouldn't want to leave it up over night any ways. It does come with a bag to store it

I use both. The strap around the seat tube, and the buckles around the seat rails. If you have a tail light on your seat tube, you can put it on the back of the bag. I think it is a great bag!

My bag is well above the rear tire. In fact, it is even above the rear reflector so I didn't have to move the reflector onto the bag. If I expanded it, the bag it would probably block the reflector, but still be nowhere near the tire. I guess it will also depend upon how high your seat is raised, but I just don't think it will be an issue.

Yes, I just got one today and it was the cheaper version, with no headlight or bag full indicator. I am sending it back! Very disappointing and cheap!

I use a light similiar to this one- Serfas Seat Stay Taillight. The rubber bands easily go around the rear frame of the bike rack.

Yes the canopy can be folded up and packed away without removing the fabric (and I believe this is how it should be done). It only takes a few minutes to pack it away. You do have to un-clip the corners but that is very simple. I haven't actually used the lights yet, we just use it for soccer games in the winter. I did however purchase the rechargeable battery pack but can't comment because I haven't used it. This is much more expensive than the ones you find at Costco and the like- but you do get what you pay for! I'd definitely buy this canopy again.Cheers

The cargo saddlebag is quite big. It may completely cover your break lights. You should measure the space between the lights and compare that to the specs. I used it on a ford escape and it covered 2/3s of the tailgate (but not the lights) and left a small window for looking out.

Mine is on the seat tube but it is a rubber strap style mount so the options are limitless. The light is very bright so even when angled a bit it is very visible.

There is a clip built into the tail light (similar to the type that tape measures have--only plastic). I'm not sure exactly how you are wanting to clip it to your bag, but I hope this is helpful to you.

I put it right under my seat bag on my road bike. It is a tight squeeze, but it works. The light is plenty bright to still be seen in dark conditions. The light attached with an 'S' hook. You pull each side of the light around and latch it in the hook.

I bought a $20 shoulder strap bag which holds my light and an extra battery. When I travel I put the light back in its box and then into the bag.

Looks like it might be removable but I never tried to remove it. It is very handy on very bright days.

It might get a little clunky when you put it in your pants pockets, plus you could get injured if they break. Maybe it would be better to put it in vacuum sealed plastic bags and then put it in one of those Crown Royal bags to keep out the light and conceal it from view.

Yes it is but it has a major problem. I won't stay in place. If you have mountain bike and you go through a lot of bumps then the light will go downwards that's why I'm looking for a new light right now. It's really cool but I would suggest you get another one.

Hi Thomas,I have this bag and a front light. You do need some kind of extender as the light (Bel 3 led light) sits behind the bag blocking the light. I have not corrected this myself...Stephen

My spare tire is under the vehicle. The rollaway part allows you to access the rear door. Keep in mind that it may cover your license plate and you will have to do something about that. By law I believe you must have a license plate visible and at night it needs to be lit. I have the license plate kit with mine.
