The 'Tether' connected bike safety device is a projector-style light that will provide riders with a way to feel more secure when riding in busy urban environments. The unit works by being positioned onto a bike's handle bars and will go to work projecting light around the rider to help other cyclists or motorists alike see the amount of space they need to stay safe. This will help riders to feel safer as they commute or simple get around town on their own terms.
The 'Tether' connected bike safety device is equipped with sensors that will detect when a rider's space is invaded upon and will send this information to the network to warn other riders of where it might not be so safe to ride.
