Bike Flags

Bike Flags: Be Seen on Every Ride

A bike flag rides on a tall pole above your bicycle, recumbent or trike so drivers see you sooner, especially on low recumbents that sit below a driver's line of sight. Our bike flags come from Premier Kites: SoundWinds recumbent flags, Apex and Tri-Stack flags, swimming fish and koi windsock flags, feather banners, spinning windsocks and Windicator bike flags, plus poles, clamps, mounts and reflective tassels.

How to Choose a Bike Flag

• Visibility: Neon, rainbow and high-contrast designs stand out in daylight; reflective flags and tassels help at dawn and dusk.
• Pole: Most flags fly on a fiberglass pole. Check whether the listing includes one, or add a 6 mm or 9.5 mm pole; the extra-stiff 9.5 mm poles stay upright at higher speeds.
• Mounting: Clamps and mounts attach the pole to the bike's frame or rack. Match the clamp size to your pole.
• Style: Sail and Apex flags are classic shapes; spinning windsocks, swimming fish and feather banners add motion that catches a driver's eye.

Bike Flag FAQ

Do I need a bike flag on a recumbent or trike?

It's one of the simplest ways to be seen. Recumbents and trikes sit low, so a flag several feet up puts color at a driver's eye level.

How tall should a bike flag pole be?

Our recumbent flag poles are 6 and 8 ft. A taller pole puts the flag higher in a driver's view.
