Bicygnals, you may be forgiven for thinking this is about listening to
Lisa Minnelli show tunes in an A&F T shirt, but you'd be wrong.
They are in fact the cleverest thing to be invented for a bicycle
since, oh I don't know, handlebars? The reason bicycles have handlebars
is because, not unsurprisingly, you kind of need your hands to steer
(which on the whole has nothing to do with American cattle), and
handlebars do a pretty good job of it. This is all very logical, and
seems to have caught on, which is good, but there is a flaw. When you
need to turn left or right, you need to let people know, which means
lifting one hand off your steering wheel (so to speak) and halving your
control. Added to this lack of control is the fact that on a busy road,
with those horrid car things zooming about, the only thing to let them
know what you're doing is one frail arm flapping about, which at 30mph
on a rainy night is more or less invisible to an alert car driver, let
alone a tired one. Solution, indicators! It's been tried before, but
the Heath Robinson inventions of the past have been rubbish, whereas
Bicygnals harness the joy of wireless technology and the coolth (?) of
contemporary design. They clip on and off your bike with ease, and even
clip together and have a carry pouch for when you're not biked up. A
simple flick of your thumb gets both the front and rear signals winking
away without a single wire between them. Brilliant concept, glorious
design, simple, clean, efficient and really rather clever. Keep your
hands where you need them and be seen. And if you like Bicygnals you are going to love these: Pedalite Pedals.
