Bike lights: LED signaling from SLC

A nice innovation in bike lighting: LED signaling courtesy of Salt Lake resident Brandon Smith.  Via a bar-mounted controller, riders can signal turns through rows of LEDs mounted to the fork and seatstays. A few months ago, I unwittingly followed a cyclist with this system down 900 East. Watching the rider clearly signal a left-turn in the dark, I was sold. This set-up should be a great way to boost visibility and predictability, while supporting local innovation. 

Thanks to Salt Lake City Green for the links.
