<p>Project Aura: Bicycle Safety Lighting System from Project AURA on Vimeo.</p>

Two industrial design students from Carnegie Mellon University named Ethan Frier and Jonathan Ota are in the works of making a bicycle safety lighting system - Project Aura:

"We created a system that requires very little rider input and maintenance, while increasing the visual footprint of bikers from all directions especially from the side. We accomplished this by expanding the surface area of light emitted through the use of RGB LEDs inside the rims of the wheels that change from red when slowing down to white when at cruising speed."
