1st place

“LED wheel lights already exist on the market, but this is a product that could fit well with the Velodroom brand. I like the USB changing and simple installation. The addition of an automatic accelerometer based on/off would set this product

apart.” -James Thomas, Bicycledesign.net

2nd place

This is an interesting idea. I like the fact that the LED bracelets work with (and amplify) simple hand signals. It needs a lot of development and fitting all of the components into a small package will be a challenge, but I see this one as the

idea with the most potential as a new safety product.

3rd place

This design has definitely some common lines with Velodroom brand and fits in very well. Would like to have one. Nice job!
