Jacket that lets drivers behind you aware or your turns-Cyclist built in signal jacket Edit




Jacket that lets drivers behind you aware or your turns-Cyclist built in signal jacket

Safety for cyclists is paramount.  Turn signal gadgets for cyclists is nothing new, but now it is infused in clothing. Ph.D student Leah Buechley on the other hand, has designed several items of electronic clothing, but her signal jacket for cyclists really stands out.

LEDs are embedded in an arrow formation and they flash to indicate that you are about to turn left or right. That’s a good idea since it will warn motorists, and prevent you from becoming roadkill.  The LEDs are powered by the round device in the center of the jacket, which is a small, sewable computer chip that Leah also designed herself.
