WingLights are LED-based turn signals that attach to the ends of bicycle handlebars.[1][2][3] They are designed to augment traditional hand signals, thereby improving cyclist visibility and safety.[4]
History
[edit]In December 2014, London-based startup Cycl launched the product on Kickstarter. The campaign was successfully funded, raising £17,000 from over six hundred backers.[5]
In January 2017, the product was pitched on Dragons' Den, securing an investment from Nick Jenkins.[6]
