DisMod
A wearable kit for the protection of urban cyclists.
DisMod is a wearable kit for urban cyclists. More specifically, a windbreaker that through design and technology allows the cyclist to signal where he is going to turn by pressing a button located in each hand fist, thus improving his safety and those who go around. In addition to making it visible, it communicates with your environment, reducing the chances of collision with cars or other cyclists, so you can walk around the city quietly.
When we pedal through the city we do it through streets or if we find a bike path, that leads us to share the space with huge micro bus vehicles, cars, pedestrians and other cyclists, generating a constant danger and insecurity when passing through the city.
