At the Ideal Home Show, we caught up with the Bicygnals team and looked at the Angel biking helmet that offers 360 degrees of light, for all round cycle safety. Here’s our interview with Bicygnals.
What is the Angel?
We were at the Ideal Home Show 2012, where we met up with Robert from Bicygnals, who spoke to us about the Angel helmet.
The Angel cycle helmet brings a new dimension in visibility making for safer cycling. The helmet has a light pipe all the way around the helmet’s rim. The helmet light is powered by a built-in battery that’s charged via a USB connection. Make sure you’re visible when biking in the dark, with the glow of the Angel’s halo.
| Bicygnals Angel Helmet is available from Amazon, Maplin and Firebox for around £50 |
The helmet offers high visibility with either a static light, or a flashing light. An innovative product with carbon fibre effect finish with adjustable strap.
