There are a growing number of bike safety accessories that allow cyclists to be seen from 360° (degrees) all around. Having spoken to a number of cycle accessories dealers and manufactures including mainstream bike stores such as Halfords we can safely say that 2013 will see numerous products become available that give drivers and other road users 360 degree visibility of cyclists.

In this first of a 3 part look at 360 degree bike safety accessories for cyclists we look at FibreFlare (powered) and MovoBright (unpowered). Feel free to let us know of others that you know about using the comments tools below.
