The topic of turn signals came up in another thread. I'm curious if anyone has used Bicygnals?

ooh, very stylish... but I'm having trouble figuring out what they actually do :confused:

That seems neat. So does it use a wireless/blue tooth kind of device to transmit the signal from the front to back lights? I wonder if you just push a button and it'll signal for you. It seems pretty neat!

Do you think people would SEE it? Seems like hand signals might work better because it looks funny. It feels weird to DO it, but can also be tricky on curves. At least if you're me.

I just found the bicygnals on ebay for $99US with free shipping. (It's only sold in Europe.) The ebay description at least said a little bit more than the website did. I'm still not sure if it's great, but I'm intrigued.

I did find one review online that said it didn't work for him in the rain.

I saw them and thought they were out of my price range, and I've never had good luck with wireless things. I think I radiate enough of my own vibes ;)

Most drivers don't think much about expected bicyclist behavior, *period.* They automatically process paired lights, one of which is blinking. I'm gonna do soemthing creative with LEDs one of these days...
