The idea is to make headlamps for the bicycle of LED light stylishly integrated into the handlebars. The headlamps can be made by cutting strips from the handlebars and supporting them with transparent plastic tubing. The LED bulbs will be installed inside the plastic tubes and will be powered by a watch battery.

Take your bike lane with you with a new safety light system, which creates an instant bike lane lined with highly visible red lights. The system features two red lasers mounted on a flashing safety light of five red LEDs. The lasers are angled downward to create a bright bike lane around the rider that is visible from a mile away, even if the area is also lit by streetlights. A pair of AAA batteries power the device, and a polycarbonate cover protects the device from weather and...

The new cycling system will let you use both your legs and your arms while riding. The bicycle will feature a separate drive train that will be powered by the arms and will work with the pedal system. This will allow the rider to also use their arm, shoulder, and chest muscles to create forward momentum and encourages a better, full body workout. The adjustable system can be set for different arm lengths and the tilting action of the hand crank steers the front wheel.

A stroller will transform to a bike in under half a minute, and will provide a safer and more interactive method of biking with a small child. Rather than a bike trailer with the child riding in back, such a design will allow the parent to place their child up front, between their arms. BTW, the bike can also be adapted to other functions, with accessories including a shopping cart, weather cover, and car seat adapter.

The bicycle could be simplified eliminating the chain and gears completely by locating the pedals on the back wheel. The bicycle minimalist design will include a steel frame consisting of two bars between the wheels as well as diagonally placed forks, which will leave only a small gap between the front and back wheels. The rear steering and lightweight will offer new maneuverability options and the simplified design will be easy to maintain. The small size of the bicycle will...

The device will increase the odds of recovering a stolen bike by sending location information to a smartphone or computer. Discreetly designed to blend with the water bottle carrier, the device will include a GPS, built-in antenna and on-board accelerometer. Once the device has been activated, it will send an alert to the user if the bike is taken beyond the user-specified boundary, increasing the chances of tracking it down. The device's three-axis accelerometer will also detect a...

A pedal-powered generator with a removable battery will be designed to power smartphones or other USB devices. The generator will be lightweight, low-profile and easy to install on most standard bicycle frames. Its magnetic rotors will harness the kinetic energy of the moving bike, sending the charge either directly to a USB device or storing it in the detachable battery pack. The 500mA charge rate generated by the generator will be the same as the USB 2.0 output from a computer,...

The idea is to combine a bike light and dual-tone horn into one device. It will light the way while also giving cyclists a way to alert inattentive drivers. The device will feature both a lower-decibel "hello horn" and a louder, 96-decibel "watch out" alarm. The horn's volume will be controlled by an integrated actuator, with a light touch sounding the lower alarm and a stronger push sounding the latter. The LED lights on the front of the horn will be designed to be constantly on,...

The projector will make night biking safer by illuminating potholes and textures in the road ahead. The projector will improve bike safety during night riding by projecting an array of square grids onto the ground just in front of the bike. The grid design will deform on the rough surface of the road, making it easier for the rider to pick out obstacles ahead, such as sudden potholes and bumps. In contrast, a traditional bike lamp will often cast shadows on the concave and convex...

The newest in a flurry of integrated bike locks, this one may be the fastest and easiest to use. The lock is built into the kickstand and features a built-in combination lock. When the biker reaches their destination they simply push down on the device, which slips through the rear tire to function both as a kickstand and an obstacle to keep the bike from being ridden away. Although the lock does not prevent anyone from picking up the bike and carrying it away, it does help to...
