BendiNewsTest: Lumos helmet keeps bikers safe with turn signals and brake lights

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Lumos helmet keeps bikers safe with turn signals and brake lights

Ever felt invisible on the road at night on your bike? You’re not alone. Cyclists often complain that motorists act carelessly around bikes and drive as if they don’t exist; drivers on the other hand say that bike riders are unpredictable and don’t do enough to make themselves visible, particularly at night. This helmet addresses both sides of the divide. The Lumos helmet has flashing turn signals and automatic brake lights built-in to help riders communicate with other road users and allow drivers to see and anticipate cyclists’ movements. Technology once confined to cars can now become commonplace for bike riders.
