Before dealing with this attractive and effective device, we need to know exactly why this device is so important. Cycling safety is always a concern. Cyclists are vulnerable and the points mentioned below explains the cause of their vulnerability:

• Per kilometer accident rates for bikes are 26 to 48 times higher than for all types of automobiles.
• A staggering 44,000 cyclists have died so far in traffic accidents in the United States alone, since 1932.
• S. cyclists are three times more prone to accidents than German cyclists. This figure goes upto six times when compared with Dutch cyclists.
• Cyclists fear motor traffic the most as per the British Medical Journal data.
• More often than not, motorists accuse cyclists for the accidents. A Toronto analysis of 2572 police collision reports was an eye opener. It demonstrates that in 90% of the cases motorists are responsible for the accidents. The most common causes include motorist violating red light, not stopping in proper place or starting early, unsafe overtaking or opening of car door onto incoming cyclists etc.

“Cyclee” product has been developed keeping in mind the safety of the cyclists. It is basically a sign projector concept which is to be used at night. It projects the relevant warning signs on the back of the cyclist so that motorists at the back are fully aware about the intentions and actions of cyclist. The chipset present in the projection device is highly programmable and configurable which can be modified wirelessly through a mobile App. This device is compatible with all bicycle models. The mounting part is bicycle model dependent.

This great device, if it is used properly, can make life easy for both motorists and the cyclists and save the lives of a lot of people avoiding unnecessary road accidents.
