Indicator vest

[Lonestar]

And if you want to turn tight what do you do/use?

I tried turning tight on the fixie.Nearly came off.

Here it is, the latest iteration of the worst idea ever, only this time they've set their sights high and are marketing it to more than mere cyclists:

The LED Turn Signal Indicator Vest is great for cycling, hiking, camping, and traveling. You can wear this on your next adventure and know that you will be safe.

Obviously it's bobbins for all purposes, but I can sort of see why peope keep thinking cyclists might want to buy indicator devices.

But why on earth would anyone think you'd need one for "hiking, camping and travelling"?

Group walks where language may be a barrier, or it may be hard to hear the person leading the walk.

 

[CanucksTraveller]

Yes, because it's hard to see that the hiker in front has turned left when you don't speak his language.

I've found a better idea. I just stick my arm out. Still trying to find a way of making money from if though

Sod that I want a tron bike!

 

[nickyboy]

Actually I think it's pretty decent

Cars have moved on from hand signals to electronic and, as a result, drivers can keep both hands on the wheel. Not seeing much difference for cyclists

 

[TheDoctor]

Indicators for cyclists are one of those perennial ideas that come along every few years, and is about as welcome (and useful) as Chilli Coke.
I can cope with drivers who don't have one hand on the wheel. I'd like it if they'd occasionally have one eye on the road!

 

[flake99please]

I can see many instances of trolley rage being avoided if you're wearing this when you need to veer over suddenly at the yellow sticker section.....

As much use as a rocking horse pooper scooper.

One good useless idea and your wealth can change.

The best ideas are the ones that anybody could have thought of... but didn't.
