Pointing the way to safer cycling: New helmet has built-in indicator lights Built in LED lights flash when rider hits a button on the handlebars Helmet also contains front and rear light for added visibility For cyclists concerned about their safety, a new helmet could help them be more visible -thanks to built-in indicator lights. The Dora headgear is controlled by a Bluetooth switch on the handlebars which allows cyclist to signal before they turn. The helmet has built in LED lights in the back and side panels of the helmet which light up in yellow for indicators and red for brake lights. The Dora headgear is controlled by a Bluetooth switch on the handlebars which allows cyclists to signal All the lights are operated by rechargeable batteries. It has been created by Hungarian designer Balazs Filczer who is now seeking funding to mass-produce the helmet. He also answered critics so said the helmet would be too heavy. 'For recreational cyclists, weight is often a secondary concern,' he said. Racers and frequent riders, on the other hand, really appreciate the weight savings. DORA was not designed for racers, but it was designed for every day users, who prefer safety. Last week it emerged that Volvo had developed computer sensors to be built into some models which can identify cyclists and make the car stop in emergencies. It comes as cycling in the UK undergoes an unprecedented growth forcing politicians like London mayor Boris Johnson to develop a £913 million plan to revolutionise roads for bikes in London. How it works: the helmet LED lights are linked wirelessly to a Bluetooth controller on the handlebars Drivers can see the lights clearly when following a cyclist, and the helmet has a built in rear light as well
