SAFETY LIGHT
The present invention provides various aspects of a novel safety light that can be attached to a bicyclist or around the body of an athlete so as to define a well lit, safe distance to avoid collision by a motorist. The present safety concerns would find advantage in an easy to attach safety light that is much larger, more conspicuous and one that provides greater lumens. It would be desirable for athletes and the sports industry if there was provided an improved safety light system to provide a significant warning to let motorists know the safe distance that any motorist and/or his vehicle needs to avoid so as not to hit the cyclist or athlete.
STRADDLED VEHICLE
A straddled vehicle including a vehicle body frame having a head pipe extending downward and forward, a steering shaft supported by the head pipe to be rotatable left and right, a front fork connected to the steering shaft, a front fender supported by the front fork, a front cover of which a portion is arranged further forward than the head pipe, and a radar supported by the vehicle body frame and arranged further forward than the head pipe. The front cover includes a front end, and a lower edge extending leftward or rightward from the front end in a front view, at least a portion of the lower edge being located at or below the front end. At least a portion of the radar is arranged further downward than the front end of the front cover, further downward than the lower edge, and further upward than the front fender.

Mounting bracket for a bicycle light
A mounting bracket for a bicycle light is disclosed which is formed in two parts, a first part for mounting on part of a bicycle frame, the first part having a first magnet, and a second part having an elongate portion arranged to extend laterally away from the plane of the bicycle frame. The elongate portion is arranged for holding a light source at a distal end, and having a having a second magnet arranged towards its proximal end. The second magnet configured to engage with the first magnet to couple the first and second parts together. The first and second parts are further provided with cooperating engagement portions for selectively elastically engaging the first and second parts with one another. Optionally the first and second parts have cooperating alignment portions to help ensure that the coupling occurs at a desired orientation.

LEANING VEHICLE
A leaning vehicle including left and right foot steps, a rear fender and a rear device. In the front-rear direction of the leaning vehicle, a distance from a rear end of the left or right foot step to a front end of the rear device is greater than a half of a length of the left or right foot step, as the case may be. In the top-bottom direction of the leaning vehicle, a distance between an upper end of the rear device and a left-foot-placing face of the left foot step or a right-foot-placing-face of the right foot step is less than a distance between the left-foot-placing face of the left foot step or the right-foot-placing-face of the right foot step, as the case may be, and a ground surface. In the left-right direction of the leaning vehicle, the rear device is located between centers of the left and right foot steps in a rear view.
