ABSTRACT:
A brake light for a bicycle comprises a self-contained housing for attaching to the bicycle main frame below the seat. A microswitch controls the operation of the brake light. A spring biased pivoting actuating arm rests on the rear caliper brake cable adjacent a protrusion or projection on the cable. When the rear caliper brake is actuated, the cable is pulled forward, causing the actuating arm to ride up on the projection, thereby actuating the switch for the brake light. When the rear caliper brake is released, the cable and the projection move downwardly, causing the actuating arm to move down toward the cable, thereby deactivating the microswitch.
