Late Night? Bookman Lights Will Guide You Home

When the phrase “bike accessories” is spoken, it’s easy to associate it with your childhood wheels. Baskets, bells and spoke knick knacks certainly pop into our minds. And though each can serve it’s own special purpose, making your bicycle safer and more useful, these accessories can also clutter your bike and even weigh it down. And because you have such sleek taste, you wouldn’t want those things to cramp your style. That’s where BOOKMAN Lights come in.

But wait, what is BOOKMAN? A group of Swedish industrial engineering students, with half a semester of school left to go, decided in 2009 they wanted to be their own bosses. And so, as dedicated cyclists themselves, they set out to invent a bike accessory that would complement rather than detract from their beloved mode of transportation. And so BOOKMAN was born with the USB Light as its front-running product.

What makes the BOOKMAN USB Light different from other bike lights? Glad you asked. Not only is it compact and lightweight, this tiny device is majorly bright: it boasts a visibility of more than 500 meters. It fits all bicycles and is easy to attach with its elastic rubber band fastener. The BOOKMAN USB Light is weather resistant, so it won’t get cranky in the rain, sleet or snow. It can run steadily for five hours or flashing for 25. Need to use it tonight? It fully charges in two hours, just enough time for you to sneak in a shower and disco nap before heading out.

Ready to go shopping? Of course you are. The BOOKMAN Light is available online at shop.bookman.se and retail stores across the United States.

Every new Game of Thrones spinoff explained
George R.R. Martin's television world continues to grow
Matt Smith starring in House of the Dragon

When it first aired on HBO in the early 2010s, Game of Thrones dazzled audiences with revolutionary special effects and terrific acting in a unique fantasy world. Based on author George R.R. Martin's series of novels, the universe depicts the battles between several different noble families as they try to climb to the top of the continent of Westeros, both politically and figuratively. The war scenes, family drama, and massive number of characters helped make the story feel fresh and new every time a new episode aired.

As Martin's attention shifted to television and away from his books, fans have looked to the TV series to finish some of the stories he couldn't finish on the page. Game of Thrones left fans wanting more, despite its poorly received finale, and a plethora of spinoffs are on the way. House of the Dragon already has two seasons completed, and there are several others in the coming years to look forward to.
House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon finished its second season in 2024. The show chronicles the heated family dynamics of the Targaryen empire almost two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. The third season should pick up the civil war between Queen Rhaenyra's forces and King Aegon's after a slow-building conflict throughout the second act.
