This Winter’s Handiest Bike Accessory

If the recent temperamental weather wasn't enough to give you the hint, winter is fast approaching. And with winter comes early nights, chilly weather and warm clothes.

If you're an urban bike rider you'll be well acquainted with the importance of visibility in adverse conditions. Thanks to Irene Posch, there is now a product on the market which is sure to pass the tests of functionality and aesthetic when it comes to bike gear.

Early Winter Night Biking Gloves look and feel like normal knitted wool gloves but have added conductive areas on each fingertip as well as on the palm of the hand which light up a LED turn signal when the hand is stretched out and a fist is formed. A 3V coin cell battery needed to power the LEDs is hidden in the cuff of the gloves. In addition, the conductive glove fingertips are compatible with gloved use of touchscreen devices.

Sold out on Etsy, there are two options for those keen to get their hands on these gloves.
