Biking Gloves Are A Bright Idea for Bicyclists

If you ride a bike, then you know how hard it is to get the respect you deserve on the road. And if you drive a car, then you know how annoying it is when people on bikes wear all black and don’t signal. Here’s an idea that everyone can get behind: Night Biking Gloves. Designer and cyclist Irene Posch created these clever gloves with built-in LED arrows. Conductive fibers are knit into the fingertips and palm so the circuit closes when you make a fist, causing the LED arrow on the back to light up. As a bonus, the conductive fingertips also make the gloves touchscreen friendly.

I would love to make these into a kit for Technology Will Save Us either working with Posch or creating our own version!
