London design student Michael Chen came up with a concept for a jacket for bicycle riders he calls the Reactiv. This jacket uses a accelerometer to track movement. The high-tech garment has LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the sleeves that change colors depending on the cyclist’s actions—such as green for acceleration, red for braking, and flashing amber for turns. Chin’s concept won the James Dyson Award which is a registered charity whose aim is to, “Inspire and excite” young people about design engineering,”’ says pocketlint.

This could really cut down on traffic accidents. It makes the bicycler much more visible. That's a good thing for cities like Portland, Or where bikes are a growing mode of transportation.
