Reggal Originals Bicycle Signalling System

Reggal Originals Bicycle Signalling System

Reggal Originals Bicycle Signalling System is an innovative safety-oriented design concept that revolutionizes cyclist-motorist communication through an integrated signaling solution. This sophisticated system, conceived in response to the growing need for enhanced road safety in urban environments with limited dedicated cycling infrastructure, incorporates LED technology seamlessly into bicycle components to provide clear directional indicators visible from all angles. The design features a dual-component configuration: a front signaling mechanism elegantly integrated into the handlebar grip via LED lights embedded within a metal ring's grooves, and a rear indicator system housed within the seat pole assembly, which also contains the control chip and power source. This thoughtful integration maintains the bicycle's aerodynamic properties and aesthetic integrity while addressing a critical safety concern in shared road environments. Developed through extensive prototyping and refinement over a six-month period, the system represents a significant advancement in cycling safety technology, particularly relevant for urban environments where cyclists and motorists share limited road space. The design's emphasis on seamless integration and premium finish demonstrates a sophisticated approach to solving real-world safety challenges, earning recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Idea and Conceptual Design category for its innovative contribution to urban mobility safety solutions. The system's development was motivated by first-hand experiences with road safety challenges in Singapore, where limited land availability necessitates shared usage of bus lanes between cyclists and motor vehicles, making it a practical solution for improving road safety communication.
