If you tend to ride your bike during the night or darker periods of the day you may be interested in a new smart bike which has been created by a team based in San Francisco.

The Mission Bicycle Company has created Lyra a smart bike equipped with GPS and integrated lighting system which can be customised and controlled and consists of 100 integrated LED bulbs to make sure you are always seen by other traffic on the road.

The Lyra smart bike is taken to Kickstarter this week to raise the US$ 40,000 the team requires to take their concept into production. The Lyra smart bike is available to earlybird backers for US$ 999 with shipping throughout the US taking place during October 2017.
