A safety device 1A,1B suitable for a bicycle comprises a flexible wand 2 which is mounted on a supporting pod P. The wand 2 comprises one or more light pipe 3 that transmit light from one or more high-intensity LEDs (12, figure 2) at the lower end of the wand 2 within the pod and travels up the light pipes 3. Light-diverting projections 5, 5A spaced at intervals along the wand 2 capture light within the light pipes 3 and divert it laterally outwards. In an embodiment the arrangement is such that red light is projected rearwardly from a bicycle in beams (r) which are visible as points of light to drivers of following vehicles. The wand 2 is preferably divided into sections by separable folding connectors 4 which enable the sections to be uncoupled and the wand 2 packed into a bag or other container when not in use.. |
