Teach them and let them teach themselves.

Bringing light to the darkness.

The Indik8a uses 275 lumens in its super-bright LEDs. This makes the Indik8a visible to road users at day and night.

Some good news coming out of Parliament seems to suggest that a hierarchy will be introduced to the Highway Code that will hold road users accountable in relation to the risk they pose to others.

Here's what Transport Secretary Grant Shapps had to say about it:

"The Highway Code currently treats children walking to school and lorry drivers as if they are equally responsible for their own or other people’s safety... These changes will redress that balance"

“People walking cause the least road danger but are often left paying the price, with pedestrians accounting for over a quarter of road deaths.

“Road users who have the potential to cause the greatest harm should take the greatest share of responsibility to reduce the danger they pose.

“Whether we choose to also drive or cycle, we are all pedestrians. These proposed revisions will benefit us all.”

This is all positive news as greater protection to those who are already most at risk is only going to help.

Here's a list of light / visibility requirements for a modern car:

- Two front position lamps
- Two front and two rear end-outline marker lamps (obligatory for vehicles first used on and from 1 April 1991 and trailers manufactured on and from 1 October 1990)
- Two dipped-beam headlamps (not more than two for vehicles first used from 1 April 1991)
- Two main beam headlamps
dim-dip lighting device or daytime running lamps
- Two rear position lamps
- Two rear stop lamps
- Two rear retro reflectors
- Two pairs of direction indicators
one or two rear fog lamps (obligatory for vehicles first used from April 1980)
- At least one rear registration plate lamp
hazard warning lamps (obligatory for vehicles required to be fitted with direction indicators)
reversing lamps (obligatory only for vehicles first used and trailers manufactured from 1 September 2009).

And now for cyclists:

- Lights and reflectors are required on a pedal cycle only between sunset and sunrise.
- Lights and reflectors are not required when the cycle is stationary or being pushed along the roadside.
- When they are required, the lights and reflectors must be clean and working properly.

The difference is huge... This plays its part in why cyclists are at so much more risk - they can't be seen!

Do your part to start changing that today.

Would you let them ride without a crash helmet?

No, of course not. So why put them at risk by letting them ride without an Indik8a?

It was on the 17th of May 1956 that the Minister of Transport announced that the then-named "winkers" would become compulsory on all vehicles registered by the end of 1958.

To quote the Guardians article "The three new standards to be enforced will be: direction indicators should be amber in colour; they should neither exceed nor fall below a certain standard of brightness, and if they are of the fore and aft flashing type they should be quite separate from other lights."

Here we are, 60 years later, and while more and more has been done to aid the visibility and protection of drivers since then, there remains no legal requirement for any flashing indicator for the more venerable cyclist.

It's time that changed - do your bit to protect your loved ones and yourself with Indik8a.

Our Story

What if cyclists could put danger behind them; make themselves seen (day or night), and signal with certainty?

It all started with an illuminated cycling glove. Or rather, the idea of inventing one. In 2012, husband and wife team Alastair and Evelyn Malcolm, saw a gap in the cycle safety market, and set about exploring it.

The illuminated glove, although genius (for a first thought!) was incredibly expensive to produce – because one size couldn’t fit all. And as inclusivity was at the heart of their project, it was back to the drawing board.

With the help of Douglas Rushbrooke, a newly appointed entrepreneur, and a small team of inventors and investors, the orginal ‘what if…?’ has evolved into a potentially life-saving device.
