Biking in the night with the distance of street lights are not easy enough to be in danger from other means of transportation. Swedish automaker Volvo has partnered with UK-based design firm Gray London, and the Albedo100 startup group to develop a special reflective paint for cyclists.

Reflective paint makes it easier for cyclists to travel in the dark

Accordingly, the new paint is called Life Paint , which can cover any object or tool. It is almost invisible during the day but can be cleared under car headlights at night, enhancing the safety of pedestrians and cyclists during traffic.

In his statement, Volvo pointed out that more than 19,000 cyclists are injured each year by road accidents in the UK. The necessary effort is to make the roads 'safer by reducing the number of accidents'.

Volvo says Life Paint is completely transparent and does not make a noticeable difference to the original material feel and can last up to 1 week after spraying. When the light from the car enters the user, the area with the Life Paint spray will turn white immediately to attract the attention of the driver.

Life Paint is the start of the Volvo launch, which is set to last until 2020, to ensure that no one is injured or killed in a car crash. . Paints can be used well with helmets, shoes, clothes, dog leashes and backpacks .

Life Paint is being offered free of charge to users at six bike shops in Kent and London. Volvo said that if Life Paint receives positive feedback from users, it will mass produce and deliver on a global scale.
