SAN FRANCISCO - Dec. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- SAN FRANCISCO, December 15, 2014 — B-Link Technologies, LLC today announced the B-Link Gear, a new bicycle safety system that integrates intelligent headlight and taillight functionality with a smartphone application via Bluetooth®. Ideal for bicycle commuters, children cyclists and recreational riders, B-Link Gear keeping cyclists connected to friends and family in case of an emergency, and includes a navigation system with automatic signaling using smart lights.  B-Link Gear app also features full fitness and activity tracking features. In the final stages of development, the safety system was unveiled on Kickstarter, a global crowdfunding website that enables people to fund the development of this new system.

During traumatic events, such as a bicycle collision, the cyclist may be disoriented and not take the appropriate steps to protect themselves from further injury. To prevent this potentially life threatening error, B-Link Gear utilizes sensors to recognize that an accident may have occurred, and automatically notifies preset contacts of a potential emergency and the cyclist’s location. If the B-Link Gear alert system has been triggered in a minor infraction that does not require assistance, the cyclist simply turns the countdown timer off.

Filling a critical gap in the cycling industry, the system provides multiple safety functions.  Through an intuitive and easy-to-use smartphone application, loved ones can receive notification of the cyclist’s safe arrival at their destination. As an added safety feature, the rider’s destination can be input into the application, which will then automatically activate the the left/right turn signals on the taillight at the appropriate intersections.

The B-Link Gear system is easy to install.  Within minutes, the lights can be mounted, powered up and connected to the B-Link Gear smartphone app. Slated for availability in August 2015, the B-Link Gear system is tentatively priced at $75. More information about the system can be found at www.blinkgear.com.
