Many cyclists may think that they are invincible and do not need such trappings as helmets and lights, but we all know that is simply not the case. The Angel Bicycle Helmet boasts [built-in lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sena-phantom), but this is not the interesting or innovative part of the helmet. It features a halo effect with 360 degrees of high visibility instead of the traditional, dimmer lights that are often on either side of a [bike helmet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canyon-deflectr-rls-helmet). The Angel Bicycle Helmet is also waterproof and has a built-in USB charging port. It is priced at about $80. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Safety-centric Bike Gear:** Opportunity to design and market bike gear that integrates safety features in innovative ways - **360-degree Visibility Design:** Opportunity to create products with high visibility design that provides full views of the surrounding road for cyclists - **USB Charging Bike Accessories:** Opportunity to develop bike accessories that come with built-in USB charging ports ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bicycle Industry:** Innovative bicycle gear for safety and convenience, such as helmets and lights - **Sports Equipment Industry:** Opportunity to market sports gear emphasizing safety and performance - **Consumer Technology Industry:** Opportunity to design and market high-tech bike gear that incorporates technology such as USB charging ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illuminated Cycling Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illuminated-cycling-helmet.md) - [Illuminated Bike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight.md) - [Electric Bicycle Helmet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebike-helmet.md) - [Crank-Powered Bike Light Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wnd-helmet.md) - [E-Bike-Centric Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pedelec-2-ace.md) - [Lightweight Dependable Safety Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/11h.md) - [Lightweight Electric Bike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virgo.md) - [Foldable Light-Integrated Bike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fend-super-bike-helmet.md) - [Connected Cyclist Safety Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unit-1-faro-smart-helmet.md)
