Oracle of DelphiBicygnals - LED turning signals for your bike
March 18th 2008 07:05
I often find myself cycling at dusk and as the daylight progressively weakens so does the chances of a motorist spotting me while I pedal away minding my own business. After a couple of close shaves in recent times, I have started investigating different ways of making myself more visible to other road users.
After ruling out the possibility of adorning this hideous Chelsea shirt, I came across Bicygnals which are battery-operated LED front and rear turn signals that work wirelessly.
By flipping a switch, the front and rear signals will communicate wirelessly thus signalling the direction which you are turning - no more waving arms like a mad man (not that you could've been seen in the dark anyway).
Here are the main features of this product:
- Complies with Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations
- Front Switches Control Front and Rear Indicators
- Wirefree Communication
- 5 Super Bright White LED’s Head Light
- 3 Super Bright Red LED’s Rear Light
- Flashing and Non-Flashing Lighting Modes
- 8 Super Bright Orange LED’s Front Indicators
- 6 Super Bright Orange LED’s Rear Indicators
- Tell Tale Indicators
- Side Visibility
- Ergonomic and Adjustable Front and Rear Clamps
- Integrated Front and Rear Reflectors
- Front and Rear Units Clip Together for Easy Carrying
- Storage Carry Case INCLUDED
- 4 x ‘AA’ Batteries in Front Unit INCLUDED
- 4 x ‘AAA’ Batteries in Rear Unit INCLUDED
- Low Battery Indicators
- Swivel Rear Clamp
If Bicygnals end up saving your life by increasing your visibility on the road, they will be well worth its AUD$87 (£39.95) price tag.
Private wish: Available in KITT style red sweeping light form! [bicygnals.com, regentred.co.uk]

I even started a bike blog I'm such a bike geek - www.bikediva.net.
Bicygnals look pretty cool. I'd like to get a set for my son and daughter too, they're always riding their bikes at night to/from friends houses and giving me a heart attack.
Take care,
Lynn
