Follow on Google News | B-Link Develops New Intelligent Bicycle Safety System with Support from Kickstarter CrowdfundingConnectivity of Smartphone Technology and Brilliant LED Lights Defines a Higher Standard in Cyclist Protection
By: B-Link Technologies 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.
