The two bicycles, Gazelle Fuente Plus Hybrid bicycles, are valued at $1,749 each and are offered as the two 1st prizes in the raffle drawn on the 4th of September 2009.

I believe these rear indicator lights have long been needed by social and commuting cyclists.  It is often difficult to raise your arm to indicate direction, particularly on a downhill turn or on a pot-holed or poor road surface.  Also, riders are often better balanced on one side or the other. The control panel on this system solves these problems and allows cyclists to indicate direction earlier and for longer.

Price:

• Single Order: $150 + GST and Postage
• 5 or more: $115 + GST and Postage

Why not purchase at the discounted rate through BARBUG? I am happy to order on your behalf.

A small price to pay for increased safety!

A lot of bicycle accidents are vehicles colliding with a bicycle. When asked drivers were unsure of cyclists intentions or not enough indication was given prior to executing a turn.

We believe that this product will help ease some of the frustration between motorists and cyclists. This product may also help develop road rules and courtesy to other road users. It is intended to be used in conjunction with a head check prior to executing a turn.
