The device works by being placed onto the [back of the rider's hands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-safety1) and letting them easily see what's happening behind them with a single glance. The units will also act as [turn signals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-cycling-system) when the rider is intending to veer off of their present course, which makes them essential for consumers who ride in urban areas. The 'Mirror Indicate' is reported to be waterproof and ultra-durable thanks to the ABS body, which will also allow it to operate in extremely hot and cold climates. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Dual-purpose Bicycle Accessories:** Opportunity for developing creative bicycle accessories that serve multiple purposes - **Smart Bicycle Technology:** Opportunity for integrating technology into bicycle accessories to enhance safety - **Urban Mobility:** Opportunity for creating products specifically designed for urban commuters and cyclists ### Who This Affects Most - **Sporting Goods:** Opportunity for sporting goods companies to create innovative bicycle accessories - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to integrate smart technology into bicycle accessories - **Personal Transportation:** Opportunity for personal transportation companies to create products tailored to urban mobility ## 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) - [Bike-Mounted Cyclist Safety Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-camera.md) - [Cyclist Safety Light Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-safety-device.md) - [Connected Cyclist Information Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-bike-components-corecap.md) - [Road-Monitoring Cyclist Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-driver-assistance-system.md) - [Connected Cyclist Radar Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bryton-gardia-r300l.md) - [Omnidirectional Bike Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vis-lightpool-taillight.md) - [Quad-Purpose Cycling Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cycling-devices.md)
