Gus writes “Have you made or do you know of something that both of us could wear that would enhance our visibility as bicyclists?”
There are a number of ways for us bicyclists to stand out day or night, ranging from the ultra-geeky to the super-fashionable. Here they are in that order:
1. Make your own helmet with head+taillights
Using conductive ink, Instructables member bekathwia superimposes a circuit on a hard-shelled helmet for a Tron-like integration of safety and more safety.
2. Ground effects
Where would we be without LEDs? The Down Low Glow lights are ground effects for your bike: available in a variety of garish colors and easily attached to any frame, they’re bright enough to define your own personal bike lane.
3. LED-studded jacket
In another Instructables project, kempton disguises LED lights as clear plastic buttons in an otherwise normal jacket, because “Not everyone wants to look like an athlete while cycling to work or school.”
4. Reflective accessories
LFLECT accessories from lost values are designed to make bicycle riding safe and fashionable – a variety of knitted accessories are available as well as reflective lace you can sew into any garment.
