Project Aura: Bicycle Safety Lighting System

Riding at night can be a daunting and dangerous task; many biking commuters are faced with the issue of being obscured when riding on the streets. Visibility at night is a vital component of biker safety, hence the need for reflectors and attachable lights. However, some of these devices are not always effective, especially from the side.

Using this light system can help your visibility from the side at night. This system is a perfect addition to be used with front and back light. It uses LED light inside the rims, which have a white light when you speed up and gradually change into red color when you slow down. It’s not only safe, but it also looks good. For this system, the designer won the Core77 Design Award student prize for the Transportation Design category. You can see the process and maybe you can contact them for order on their tumbler surg2011. Well, have a nice ride and don’t forget your helmet. (CP)
