New Gadget Takes Pulse of Cyclists

As they have often observed, a considerable number of the products that individuals who love devices gravitate to most strongly are the ones that merge various other types of devices in to a kind of tremendous gadget, & now an Australian student has completed that with a bicycle helmet. This helmet which is called the Pulse Bicycle Safety Helmet combines several different features that cyclists can use while riding, in to the shell of the helmet without decreasing the safety features of the helmet. In fact, with more safety features built in the Pulse Bicycle Safety Helmet may be even safer than a traditional helmet. The first major difference between the Pulse Bicycle Safety Helmet & a traditional helmet is in its structure. The Pulse is designed so that its user can personalize how air flows through the helmet in order to meet his or her exact cooling needs. This can be valuable for any cyclist who rides in a variety of climates or climatic conditions. After all, you don't necessarily need plenty of air flow in the event you are competing in the Iditabike race in the dead of winter up in Alaska. On the other hand in the event you happen to be riding through Death Valley in July, air flow is much a necessity. Fortunately the Pulse Helmet can adjust much to either extreme of climatic conditions or fundamentally the preferences of different riders.

The major feature that makes the Pulse Bicycle Safety Helmet safer is the array of built in LED based lights. These bright lights, combined with the kinds of reflective materials found on most bicycle helmets, make the Pulse much more visible in low light levels & at night. This can be indispensable when it comes to staying safe while commuting or working out after dark & in plenty of areas it is illegal to ride a bicycle on a street without a light. While these LED's won't light your way while riding after dark or before dawn, they will make you much more visible.

Another major threat to the safety of bicycle riders is the tendency to listen to music or talk on a phone while riding a bicycle. This is definitely a bad idea for a few reason. In the case of speaking on the phone while riding a bicycle, it is definitely an even worse idea than doing so while driving. This is because riding a bicycle handed is much more difficult than driving handed is. For example, the sizable majority of bikes need manual shifting & braking with hand on the handle bar is likely to cause the rider to flip over if it happens to be the front brake that is used, & using the back brake alone is not as effective as using the front brake or both brakes simultaneously. Fortunately the Pulse can solve this issue by allowing the rider to make & get phone calls hands free. The incoming audio is fed in to the ear that faces away from the road so that road noise can still be heard.
