Innovative cyclist safety device

With the UK experiencing consistent growth in the number of cyclists taking to the country's roads, the rate of injured or killed cyclists has also seen an increase. As a result, an enterprising company, Modern Safety Solutions, has developed an innovative cyclist safety device, known as the Indic8or.

Brainchild of a London taxi cab driver, the device has been designed to drastically reduce the risk to cyclist-commuters by providing a high visibility and driver-familiar indication device closely resembling directional indicators on motor vehicles.

The Indic8or patented design is a wrist-mounted device, utilising four ultra-bright LEDs, which flash automatically once the wearer’s arm is raised, ensuring that the cyclist’s hand signals can be clearly seen by other vehicles. It stops flashing as soon as the arm returns to the handlebars.
