Cycling has long been one of the fastest, most flexible and reliable methods of transport in the city. However, during the pandemic years, consumers have been pedal to the metal all over the country for cycling.
Bicycles provided both a eco-friendly commuting option and an outdoor activity at a time when COVID-19 travel bans and lockdowns have made staying indoors either suffocating. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a dramatic increase in cycling related accidents. According to a presentation at the 2021 American college of Surgeons trauma cases involving bicycle-related injuries increased 100 percent during the pandemic.
Enhanced Bicycle Safety Technology
Whether it be for pleasure or for work, maneuvering #SmartCity can be hazardous if you are on a bicycle. one ideal way to navigate the connected city is with the next-gen of new smart helmets.
The Lumos Ultra is an innovative light weight (5,3 ounces) #wearable that targets to keep cyclists on their feet and on the road. With over 500 lumens of output and 360˚ visibility, this LED enabled and IoT connected device, will ensure that motorists and pedestrians will see you. Additional the automatic break lights combined with the highly visible turn signalling brings a whole new level of communication with cars and pedestrians. Simply, you can take away the guesswork by letting traffic around you know which direction you’re turning.
The Lumos Ultra also has App integration which makes it simple to work with your mobile phone, Strava and the Apple Watch.
However, what I love the most about the Lumos Ultra is the MIPS helmet technology. MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, which is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts. MIPS certified helmets are tested to withstand an impact speed of up to 6.2 meters per second. Although this feature is optional, it is well worth the additional cost.
