Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9947009A1] This invention relates to a pedal cyclist indicator (30) which comprises an extension portion (31) having at one end a pressure toggle switch (37) and an elasticated loop (36) through which the first finger (19) of a cyclist is inserted. The other end joins at roughly the midpoint of a major portion (32) to be fixed around the wrist of the cyclist. Two amber light emitting diodes (LEDs) (34g and 34h) are located on the extension portion (31) and six are located in a generally uniformly spaced manner across the major portion (32). When a cyclist wishes to indicate a turning maneouver, they extend their arm whilst moving their thumb (17) to press and close the switch (37) to complete an electrical connection of the LEDs (34a to 34h) to batteries via a flashing unit. Thus, a selectively manually operable flashing pedal cyclist indicator is provided.
