LEDs help XFire create mobile lanes.

XFire , the name of a red light-biking bicycle, is the product of a company based in Los Angeles, USA. They manufacture XFire to increase the safety of cyclists by night, Discovery reported. The bike's lighting system consists of 5 red LEDs. They created two red bands on either side of the car.

Tests show that two bright red strips attract the attention of pedestrians so they give way to bicycles. However, the people in the car do not pay attention to the light strip. Even when they see the light strip, many people do not feel comfortable giving way to bicycles as a necessity.

Some traffic experts say that XFire is a useful product, but it will probably only work the most on well-structured roads. On routes where cars and bicycles use the same lane, the risk of road accidents and even accidents can still occur with XFire riders.
