The Bikes Voice Box is ready to go! The sensor detects if someone is too close to you and then displays a message of your choosing, in this video i have picked the strong and effective phrase of “YOU PRAT”.

Arduino: Bikes Voice Box sketch (code)

/* AnalogReadSerial Reads an analog input on pin 0, prints the result to the serial monitor. Attach the center pin of a potentiometer to pin A0, and the outside pins to +5V and ground.

This example code is in the public domain. */ int ledPin = 9; // the setup routine runs once when you press reset: void setup() { // initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second: Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); }

void loop() { // read the value of the potentiometer: int analogValue = analogRead(A0);

// if the analog value is high enough, turn on the LED:

if (analogValue < 200) { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); delay(1000); } else { digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); delay(1000); }

// print the analog value: Serial.println(analogValue); delay(10); //delay(100); // delay in between reads for stability }

//Just copy and paste this in the free Arduino software and the coding is done for you!

The plan is swiftly becoming a reality! To make your own simply go to http://boxmaker.connectionlab.org/ and type in the dimentions: Width: 150mm Depth: 50mm Height: 100mm I used the 3mm thick acrylic and it works very well. Then go to advanced settings, Notch length: 15 Cut width: 0.3 *Note cut width varies for each laser cutter so check these dimensions before you order this to be cut.

A message to drivers who endanger the lives of others, helping cyclists in the constant battle that is British roads. This image is designed to be a sticker to stick to cars which endanger cyclist lives, the cars with more stickers are more dangerous. Save this image, turn it into a sticker and go stick it to some cars!

EXPERIMENTS BEGIN!

Research suggests the use of symbols can help drivers identify cyclists more quickly – giving them more time to react – and provide a shortcut to feelings of empathy and vulnerability

A new form of Anti-theft device has been trialed at Portsmouth University, when the bike moves it triggers a CCTV camera to begin watching the thief, hopefully identifying them.

The ‘invisible Helmet’ is essentially a cyclist air-bag, it deploys at the moment of crash encasing your neck and head, ensuring less injuries.

New spray paint can be applied to any fabric or surface, washes out – and reflects beaming headlights Volvo’s new spray is invisible by day but by night highly luminous. Unfortunately it washes off in the rain, how can this be fixed?
