Ok, so here's the world we live in today. As you see in the cartoon on the left, there are two beings, at a traffic light which is green.
There is also a "no right turn" sign there, which is part of the cartoon but is actually there in real life. The guy is raising his left hand
to indicate that he would like to make a turn. But everyone in the world knows that "hands in the air" means you just don't care... about safety.

Bicycle Control Signal Lights are more than just a cool gadget to put on your bike. As traffic increases because cars become less affordable,
more people will find themselves riding bikes in traffic, but without the benefit of one key feature contained in their car: the turnsignals.

Turn signals on a car might be considered over-rated, but if your turn signal light goes out on your car, it's an important matter to fix.
Imagine driving your car without turnsignals. Now you know what every bicycle rider in traffic feels like.

My plan is not to capitalize on a great idea and then, like Steve Miller says, take the money and run. That's not my goal.
I'm a consumer advocate, like Ralph Nader. But I'm also an inventor, which makes it even better.

On this page, you're going to find the cryptic designs for a product which does not exist yet.
Attempts at it have been made, but to no avail in a commercially successful market.
I attest that to the lackluster performance of work effort on the part of the previously attempted inventors.
One guy is someone out in Hawaii who applied for a patent, but his didn't contain any language including "wireless."

There are several different ways to impliment wireless technology: analog and digital.
If you're interested in reverse-engineering a wireless bicycle turnsignal, get a Sunpower Data Monitor.

Even those are quite often subject to fail and need constant repairing, however.
Even if it requires a little more power to operate as an analog frequency transmitter / receiver...
It still would require not having to constantly "pair" and "re-pair" the device on a regular basis.

So let's start looking at what comes in the package when you buy this thing.

Part One remains permanently attached to your handlebars. It's fastened securely with a hexkey.
It should be made so that it's difficult to remove, but still cheap top replace, and very, very waterproof.

There is no need for any wires to emerge from the device. Just buttons, which could also be sealed.
The important thing is that it stays waterproof because once water gets in there, it will probably not work anymore.

And the sign of a good design is a device that is still functional and abundant in great quantity well into the future.
It also makes it harder for copycats to compete if they literally can't conceive in their minds a better design.

Since transmitters don't require that much power, especially if they're set up to work within a range of about 10 feet,
and since radio signals are approved by the FCC for use with things like remote control cars, let's make them analog.

Most RC car remote controls last forever on a 9v battery, just sayin'.

Here's what's inside of that beveled-edge shaped cube:

It has a transmitter in it, that generates three different frequencies that are slightly different.
Each one of those signals is received by another device, which is clamped to the seatpost.

The piezo speaker generates an inaudible frequency that is picked up by the second part in this set.

Here's what that part looks like.

This was the original design. based on an original dream given to me by the Ancients
