Top 10 cycling gadgets: See.Sense, Lock8, Firefly and more
Ever since the Olympics, more and more women in the UK are getting on their bikes, with Sport England reporting a 200,000 increase in regular cyclists and this year’s Tour de France kicking off in Yorkshire only adding to our enthusiasm for literally jumping on the saddle. But whether you see yourself as the next Victoria Pendleton or simply like biking to work, you probably want to stay safe, keep track of your fitness progress, and of course, have constant access to your phone. Here are a few gadgets and gizmos to increase your pedal power.
Zackees Turn Signal Gloves
Drivers don’t always see or interpret a cyclist’s hand signals correctly (and sometimes that results in them making a few hand signals of their own...) but these gloves should make things clearer. They have LEDs embedded in the back which blink in the shape of an arrow when a rider touches the thumb and middle finger of their signalling hand together. Designed by former Google engineer Zach Vorhies, they’re waterproof so they can withstand both the spin cycle and the British weather.
