Clever idea but will it catch on?
SEEN THIS new safety device for bikers? Called 'My Backup' the wireless bib is worn over your existing motorcycle gear and warns following drivers of your intentions with lights that work in conjuntion with your bike's brake and turn signals.
The company haven't released any specific availability dates yet but we'll keep you posted on any developments.

You could have a disco flashing away on your back and some of the morons in they're boxes still wouldn't see you.
I can see where the company is coming from but can't see it catching on!!
What say you all???

It's reminiscent of the head light rear light brake light things that were on the market a few years ago. Perhaps a good idea but I don't think I've ever seen anyone use one of them either.
I can't see this catching on, most bikers are too fashion conscious.

I'm sure somebody thought it was a great idea but willl never catch on i mean you don't see many riders with high vis vests or similar let alone extra lights stuck in various places (saw a little wind powered rear light for a helmet the other day). Plus it would mess up my stealth black look...
