Like Bikes & Bike Gadgets. Here's A Lot Of Them From The Interbike Show in Vegas! 

From the Pepcom Holiday Spectacular we move on to another big, no make that huge show, Interbike in Las Vegas. This trade show features every kind of kids, adults, folding, electric, hybrid bike you'd can think of, along with hundreds of bike accessories. We'll cover about a half dozen of them starting here and continuing for the next two weeks. 

Be seen when you go biking!

 

Visijax goes above and beyond the bare essentials of road safety. They have developed the most visible cycling jacket I've ever seen. Not only are there flashing lights on the front and back so you will be seen at dusk, at night, pretty much any time, but the jacket also features motion activated turn indicators on the arms. Simply raise your arm to indicate as you would normally and the built in amber LED's light up on the front and back of the sleeve, displaying your intentions to the traffic around you. The indicators switch off automatically ten seconds after you lower your arm. The Commuter jacket has 23 high intensity, integrated LED's in both white and red to alert other road users to your presence. All of the electronics are powered by a provided rechargeable USB battery with up to 20 hours of continuous use. When we showed this as a prototype a couple of years ago, I recall the price was over $170.00.

It's now available in black or florescent yellow for a much lower price. As of 10/4/16, the jacket was on the company website for $82.99. And on Amazon too.
