It's like having eyes in the back of your head. Cycliq

Congrats to Craig W. of West Chester, Penn., for winning two Divoom Bluetune-Bean portable speakers in last week's giveaway. This week, we have something for the cyclists out there.

Cycliq

The Fly6 from Cycliq is an HD camera and highly visible LED taillight in one. Replace your existing taillight with the lightweight, 3.4-inch-tall gadget and it will continuously record real-time 720p video of what's happening behind you so you can ride on worry-free. The Fly6 also integrates incident capture technology, which ensures that important footage isn't looped over in the event of a serious incident.

It's built to handle wet weather and lasts up to 6 hours on a battery charge. The product ships with an 8GB microSD card preinstalled so you can take it for a ride right out of the box.

The Fly6 successfully reached its Kickstarter goal in March of last year and started shipping in December. Its descendant, the Fly12, a high-def camera and front-light combo, is currently making a run on Kickstarter and has well exceeded its $245,000 goal with just under two weeks left in the campaign.
