Battery-Free Cyclist Stickers

The 'WHEEL FLASH' Reflective Stickers Keep Riders Visible

— February 6, 2019 — Art & Design
The 'WHEEL FLASH' reflective stickers are a battery-free way to stay seen after dark when riding a bike to prevent riders from being unseen by motorists, fellow riders or pedestrians. The stickers are made with a glass-powder pigment that is highly reflective and will work without the need for battery power to reflect light in any condition. The stickers come precut and can be affixed easily onto your existing bike to prevent accidents by keeping riders far more visible at dusk or after dark.

The 'WHEEL FLASH' reflective stickers are the design work of Min Hyeon Seong of THE BEAM and won't detract from a rider's aerodynamics thanks to their paper-thin design. This makes them a better option than adding on additional lights or blinkers for riders seeking to enhance their visibility without any slow downs.
