Huh. ESB "Search found 0 matches: Lucnt"?

... as in the Lucnt bike tail light...

Seen here: Lucnt bike tail light – odd name, smart device:
https://newatlas.com/lucnt-bike-tail-light/53241/

Starts:

It's called the Lucnt (pronounced "lucent") and what is it? It's an accelerometer-equipped bike tail light that's made from a single block of aircraft-grade aluminum, and it does more than you might expect.

Designed by San Francisco-based Mema Engineering, the Lucnt automatically powers up when it's slotted onto its magnetic mounting bracket, and powers down when it's taken off. It also shuts down if the bike remains immobile for over 90 seconds, and comes again once the bike gets moving.

"There are two different models available, the Arara A5 and the Arara A200. One provides for instant powering on while the other slowly fades to black."

Includes:

The Arara lighting system is weather resistant — unaffected by water or dust. It is also guaranteed to work down to negative-25 degrees Fahrenheit. Six different light colors will be available.

Nice posts Lockh.
I don't know if you have posted this one but I been contemplating buying this helmet.
https://www.bellhelmets.com/en_eu/full-flex
What I like about it is that it protects your ears from wind/cold and its a normal BMX and skate helmet bike helmet.
If you try and wear a full motorcycle helmet on a rather normal looking bike you look like a total weirdo.
It also flexes to your head. Don't have one but the only thing I wonder I wont be happy with is if its visor or lack of is good enough, dont like the idea of too much sun in my eyes on a cool sunny day when I have paid for a premium helmet.

Here is their youtube sales pitch.

Aptly named Blinkers are an easy to use bike lighting system for cyclists:

Blinkers add turn signal, brake light, and laser projection “safety zone” capabilities to your bicycle.

reTyre: they’re tyres that zip into place!
("New design is intended to offer a quick solution for changing conditions"):
http://road.cc/content/tech-news/242461-retyre-theyre-tyres-zip-place

:lol:

Includes:

“Correct treading provides better grip, less rolling resistance and a better biking experience,” says reTyre. “The tyres also last longer.”

The idea is that you can quickly attach a new skin to adapt to the weather and/or road conditions without the need to fit an entirely different tyre. The skins are also said to provide addition flat protection.

 

[1JohnFoster]

reTyre: ... :lol:

“... embedded electronics and LEDs using inductive charging and communicating to your smartphone,” says reTyre. “We are also introducing new exotic materials such as textiles, recycled coconut fibres and completely recyclable skins.”

The ultimate ride experience! Flashing recycled coconut fibres in my tires are talking to my phone!

Kinda reminds me of me. Some solutions just never stop looking for more problems.

Although, acktchewally, I do remember riding in winter so long ago. It really would have been nice to "zip on" studs on the sidewalk instead of changing tires in my kitchen with salt and grit dripping off everywhere.

Hehe... "Some solutions just never stop looking for more problems"... Golden.

The Award-winning Wheel Reflector That Instantly Make Biking Safer:
http://www.yankodesign.com/2018/08/21/a-simple-sticker-can-make-bicycling-dramatically-safer/

Starts:

Bicycles have always been the healthier way of commuting, but there’s still a long way to go to make bicycle riding as safe as sitting inside a car. Bikes are fast, but incredibly quiet, and given their size, they aren’t as visible as a car with its flashy headlights, taillights, and loud horn. So in a world that desperately needs to re-embrace cycling as a way of commuting, the FLECTR 360 Omni wants to provide a small-footprint high-impact solution to make bicycling safer.

The FLECTR 360 Omni are superiorly engineered adhesive reflector panels that provide 360° coverage. From wherever a car headlight may hit the bike, FLECTR 360 Omni will grab the driver´s attention making the biker visible with a stunning glow. Designed to be mounted on the rims of a bicycle’s wheels FLECTR 360 Omni requires no electronics, battery, or upkeep.
