Safety Products for Cycling

Visibility is one of the most important elements of cyling safety - you have to make sure motorists can see you, both day and night. For daytime safety that means bright colors and eye-catching motion. For nightime safety that means super-reflective materials and flashing lights.

Recumbent Cycles of Utah offers products to accommodate both daytime and nightime cycling safety. These products include super-reflective, bright yellow flags, safety triangles and ankle straps.

Safety Flag (includes pole and bracket)     $19.95

The Recumbent Cycles of Utah Flag is made from bright yellow, heavy-duty, rip-stop materials. The tip of the flag is sliced into long fingers that act like a windsock without the wind resistance - they wiggle in the wind and are quite eye-catching. On both sides of the flag super-reflective material is stitched so that at night they reflect back light and are visible to motorists from as far away as 800 feet or more. The flag comes complete with a two-piece, white fiberglass pole and traditional flag bracket. Catrike flag brackets are also available.

Flag can also be purchased without the heat-pressed Recumbent Cycles of Utah message. Purchase them for your cycling group and heat-press your own message onto the flag. Minimum quantity for flag (including the two-piece pole and bracket) without message is 10 for $149.95.

Safety Triangle and Ankle Strap

Triangle $12.95

Ankle Strap $3.95

The Recumbent Cycles of Utah Safety Triangle and Ankle Strap are two more excellent safety products. The safety triangle is made from the same bright yellow material, and has the traditional open triangle symbol for slow moving vehicles made from super-reflective material stitched on. At the top of the triangle, velcro is stitched on for fastening the triangle to seat backs, racks, bags, etc., providing visibility to motorists. The ankle strap is made from black nylon webbing like what is used for backpack straps with super-reflective, bright yellow material stitched on. Fasten them around your ankles to keep pant legs from getting caught in your chain or sprockets; and at the same time, increase your visibility to motorists from all angles.
