signalling cycle bag

[Peter Armstrong]

If you can not cycle and flick a little switch or use and turn off indicators when driving then piss off the roads and leave them for people who can mange to string a few brain cells together.

Excellent. As long as it has a setting for "Don't even f***ing think about it."

OT - I bought my 16 year old niece a tshirt with velcro stick on letters, so she could write her own slogans.

The ones she wore when she left the house and the ones she wore a few minutes later were a little different.

With this bag I can imagine some people on bikes signalling left and going right, or leaving the signal on and creating quite a bit of confusion...

Like a lot of drivers then

I like the idea of an auto cancel, that would work better.
Could you program in a middle-finger flip?
Or a right arrow with"r-sole" referring to the driver just passing you far too close? Now that would defo buy it

If we did this the roads would be nice and clear, I like it

Had another look - looks like there's a flashing indicator led on the control unit for when indicating.

Apparently you can programme it using an android phone app, so it would seem it is totally possible to programme the LED display to flip someone the bird or suggest they are an"r-sole" (if there is space).

I suppose the good thing to indicating using your arm is that you ALWAYS remember to cancel it.
Good thing too!

You'd need LED shorts really. Ones you could fit "Sorry, let rip" on or "Nice queue, see ya". They could have an accelerometer in, so your bum goes red when you brake. The possibilities are endless.....

They have a bum bag version as well, so you could suggest to them about adding an accelerometer, that could be fun.
Perhaps we ought to get them onto cycle chat for some product testing

 

[Frood42]

Will it do animated?

Yes, it flashes and things.

Am I the only to have read the product page and watched the vids?

 

[Frood42]

So it could convey the universally understood gesture for w*****?

Quite possibly.

Oh, I like it, so we want the ability to flip the bird to others, or give w***** signs.

This is better than the "Any good jokes thread?".

 

[Frood42]

Last time I checked, I had that functionality.

True, but with this at least the younger more tech savy drivers who are normally staring at their mobiles will understand your displeasure, as the flashing LED's might just grab their attention away from faceache for, oh, maybe a second.

 

[Frood42]

Play their game?

Not sure it does space invaders

Test case will be interesting when the first cyclist gets run down because they were "signalling" with this thing. Potentially lethal IMO
