Riders once had to pay £200 or so for light-up clothing, but cheaper options are now available
If the dark nights of recent days have left you feeling vulnerable on your bike, how about a cycling jacket with built-in LEDs to let motorists know that you are there?
Simon Sibia came up with the idea for his Vizirider cycling clothing after twice being knocked off his bike in Sydney, where he was living at the time. Fast forward to today and the Briton has returned to the UK’s south coast and is selling his jackets and gilets direct to the public, and via a small number of bike shops. Each features 12 LEDS and reflective materials.
