Perhaps you've seen the blinky lights on bicycles that make them safer and more noticeable at night. We took that to a new level, and way beyond. An onboard computer adds 21st century smarts to LucidBrake™, ignoring rotations, filtering out bumps, and sensing deceleration to activate the ultra-bright LEDs.

There are over 16 million bicycles sold in the U.S. each year, and there are thousands of reported injuries and deaths each year. Here's a web site that lists these and other important statistics When riding in a group, people report the biker following them doesn't always notice they are slowing or stopping. This is one example of where LucidBrakes™ can help save lives and prevent many injuries.

With a patent-pending LucidBrake™ you simply attach it to your bike, helmet, backpack, or elsewhere, add two AAA batteries and ride. There's no wiring at all, not even an on-off switch. It's that simple, that easy to use, and it works great! It even self-adjusts to mounting angle, road grades, and bumps, making it the most intelligent brake light on the market.
