All the best gear has its roots in functionality, for example I’m pretty sure you could kit out an entire platoon of commandos/Games teachers with the contents of my wardrobe despite me being a bonafide pacifist/lazy get. So with that in mind cast your eyes on these jackets and bags from LUMO all designed to make cyclists safer whilst also looking like super cool city slickers. The safety aspect is provided by an ingenious LED lighting system that lets fellow road-users see exactly where you are yet is completely concealed once off a bike. Despite the last bike I had being a blue and yellow Raleigh Burner sometime around 1985, I’m sorely tempted to get some of this ace kit just to stop me getting run over when I put the bins out on a Sunday night.
