Traditional bicycle bells often fall in the cute category rather than effective at alerting vehicles to your presence, so the 'Sonic Grip' has been developed by avid cyclist Steve Brkic to change this. Designed to be integrated onto your existing bicycle, the unit works by blasting a 100 decibel siren when depressed to warn motorists, pedestrians and other cyclists of your position. This will come as welcome news to bike riders who have experienced injuries or close calls as a result of others around them simply not seeing them when riding.
The 'Sonic Grip' boasts a waterproof design and a replaceable battery to ensure that it's ready for use at all times when you're riding for leisure or commuting purposes.
