# Safe Cycling Blinkers The Bike Zone Projector Signals the Cyclist's Intended Direction Like Cars By Elise Ying-Hei Ho | Published 2012-11-26 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-zone-projector References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/11/26/bright-lights-for-projector-friendly-bike-lovers/) Though dangerous, some bikers are not entirely familiar with hand signals on the road and even then, drivers may not be able to see [cyclists' gestures in the dark](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wnd-helmet), which is why the Bike Zone projector is essential for [biking safety](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/livall-ai-visual-smart-helmet). Despite all the [reflective tape and glow-in-the-dark items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scoutlite-blinko) that cyclists can wear, some people on the road, let it be pedestrians, drivers or even other cyclists, may not be the most attentive. The Bike Zone Projector comes with two bangle-like clips that secure easily onto any bike. Connected wirelessly to the lasers, these bands project a bright red signal that reflect the biker's intended direction that reaches a one-meter radius, signaling the driver to give the cyclist ample space to make their turn. The bright read lasers project these signals onto the road, making sure to catch the attention of others on the street without impairing their sight. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/transportation) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bike Safety Technology:** Developing new and innovative solutions for bike safety technology can prevent accidents and save lives. - **Smart Wearables:** The rise of smart wearables presents an opportunity to integrate safety features into everyday clothing and accessories. - **Connected Transportation:** The growth of connected transportation technology offers the potential to improve communication and safety between cyclists and drivers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cycling:** The cycling industry has an opportunity to lead the way in developing and promoting bike safety technology. - **Wearable Technology:** The wearable technology industry can integrate safety features into everyday clothing and accessories, expanding their market and improving safety standards for consumers. - **Transportation:** The transportation industry, particularly those focused on development and production of electric and connected vehicles, has an opportunity to integrate safety features for cyclists and improve communication with drivers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gesture-Controlled Turn Signal Armbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flasher-armbands.md) - [Tech-Visible Bike Reflectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radian-wingman.md) - [Tech-Enhanced Safety Bike Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rear-bike-light.md) - [Omnidirectional Bike Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vis-lightpool-taillight.md) - [Connected Cyclist Radar Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bryton-gardia-r300l.md) - [Synced Bike Light Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-light-system.md) - [Ergonomic Urbanite Bike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumos-nyxel.md) - [Vehicle-Tracking Cyclist Radar Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garmin-varia-rearvue-820.md) - [Light-Equipped Cyclist Dash Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-dash-cam.md)
