Something cycle related (indicators) on tonight's Dragon's Den.

[Brandane]

Not sure what it is yet; just saw the trailer and it might be cycle lights related.
Just in case anyone is interested, it's on BBC2..........

 

[ianrauk]

It's the crap indicator lights thing again.

 

[Brandane]

Surprised that they got a deal, and from a cyclist too .
He will of course be looking at it from a business POV rather than how practical they might or might not be.
Even if they could be pointless, dangerous, and ineffective; there might be enough stupid people willing to buy them to make it profitable.

I didnae know that ludicrous progamme was still on the telly; it doesnae surprise me that they'd have bike indicators on it.

Maybe they should use them to signal the end of the programme...

 

[Globalti]

They'll sell but I don't think those guys will get rich. They are a bit gimmicky aren't they! Maybe the cash will help them develop something useful like a rotating spike that gouges the tyres of cars that pass too close.

I've got indicators on my bike, nowt wrong with them.....they're also called "hands"

Cut from one person or more?

That's the reason a couple of Dragons gave as to why it's a crap idea. Drivers expects arm/hand signals rather then lights.

Cut from the still quivering dead bodies of my enemies....or possibly kittens, in which case they become my cat's paws......

Cat's have made so many sacrifices for road safety.

Is it https://www.cycl.co.uk/ ? Handlebars makes mounting and using simple, but won't your body obscure it for a lot of people behind you?

 

[Drago]

Can't see it'll make riders any safer. They'll be like car drivers who tend to use indicators as a substitute for looking.

 

[TheDoctor]

Indicators, like brake lights, tend to come along every few years or so.
It's a rubbish idea. Always was, always will be. Just like L-shaped cranks and solid tyres.
Let's face it, the bike is just about perfect as is.

Yep, they're the ones and the same reason as a couple of Dragons gave as to why they are crap.

They'll be monitoring the website hits and getting excited at prospective buyers, little knowing it's us nobbers having a look at their ridiculous lights
