But what if our roads don’t have to be a communication vacuum, save for gestures and blaring horns? What if there was a way for cyclists to clearly and safely indicate how they feel, which way they intend to turn or highlight a danger ahead that a following road user may not be able to see.
The challenge
This month’s challenge then is to come up with just such a system. Whether your final design is high- or low-tech, it must be clear to understand in any language, all weather conditions – including at night, and must be able to be operated without the cyclist taking their hands off the handlebars.
