Thanks for all the leads on the bike lights everyone. It looks like everyone is using more or less the same silicone body light. I wonder if kids that get them replace the little watch battery when they go out, of if it's a throw-away item.

I just picked up a pair of these for myself - 90 cents each, free shipping, and they look identical to the ones that Christopher posted above. I'm not sure how well they work (or even if batteries are included), but if anyone's interested I can post an update in this thread once they arrive.
Several others on eBay sell the same lights at similar prices.
