The 'Dual Beam' bike light is a safety-focused accessory for urban cyclists that will provide them with a way to stay as visible as possible when riding after dark. The patent-pending bike accessory works by being mounted on the handlebars and providing illumination both onto the road in front of the rider as well as onto the cyclist themselves. This will maximize the riders ability to be seen after dark and solves the problem of conventional bike lights that make it difficult to see the outline of the rider.
The 'Dual Beam' bike light is the design work of Alex Mulvaney and Kathy Vega, and boasts a waterproof design that will provide up to five hours of use thanks to the rechargeable battery within.
