We could have used zip ties in our mounting system. But zip ties are a single use product. So you'd need more of them if you ever want to move the Down Low Glow to another bike.
A lot of our customers have more than one bike and want to move their lights from bike to bike depending on who they're with, how far their going. On one night, I might take the cruiser. On another night, I might need to carry something, so I take the Xtracycle. If I'm leading a social ride, I'll take the Soul Cycle. Our no-tools mounting kit makes it easy to have fun with your entire bike fleet, and loan your Down Low Glow lights to friends, too.
