Lights

The daily traffic jam contains a certain kamikaze risc for us motorbikers while driving between the
cars. Though we developed a
sixth sense for cars changing lanes without blinking it stays dangerous to drive through the traffic
jam. Car drivers don't look very
well in their mirrors and try to creep in every space they discover, left or right. A bike gets hardly
noticed!
From research appears that movement is catched by the eye but for us bikers it's not an issue to move
constantly from left to
right to make others pay attention to us. What we can do is to let our lights take care of this.
This electrical circuit makes one of the two headlights flash to improve your visibility. My experience
is that using this feature
worked well as cars made room for me while driving though traffic jam.
Unfortunately not every cardriver payed enough attention to notice this signal so I added flashlights
in my turnsignalunits to
make my bike even more visible. The lights are made of Powerleds, built in the turninglight unit, ten
at each side. The pictures of
this placement are already here, the electrical circuit follws soon.
