Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Knog Frog Rear. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

5 reasons to buy

  • A tester praises the Frog Rear's creative and eye-catching flash patterns.
  • Owners appreciate the wide choice of nine modes.
  • The Frog Rear has a curved lens, which testers say provides good side-on visibility.
  • This light fits all common seatpost diameters (22.2mm to 32mm), including most aero seatposts, thanks to the stretchy strap.
  • The silicone casing keeps the Frog securely in place when mounted, according to reviewers.

2 reasons not to buy

  • The battery indicator is only visible when the light is off.
  • Testers consider this light insufficient for daytime visibility.

Bottom line

The Knog Frog Rear is a 20-lumen taillight with nine modes. It fits 22.2mm to 32mm seatposts or frame tubing. Owners praise the creative flashing modes, but at 20 lumens, it's inadequate for daytime visibility. Original Frog Rear owners appreciate the update to a rechargeable battery. Charge status is only visible after quick-pressing the light when it's off. Overall, the Frog Rear's eye-catching flash patterns do well in drawing attention at night, but it's expensive given its modest output. A brighter alternative at a similar price is CatEye's ViZ150.

… this is a pretty badass blinky light, and easily the best one on the market right now (believe me, I’ve checked).
