The present invention visible safety bicycle refers to a system of several photo-luminescent plastic spirals to be visible day and night alternately, which will surround of the bicycle frame and wheel's spokes.
The visible safety bicycle is a system of several photo-luminescent plastic spirals to be visible day and night alternately, which will surround each part of the bicycle; bicycle frame parts, bicycle handlebar, bicycle seat post, bicycle fork, bicycle wheel hub, and also bicycle wheel's spokes, with high visibility of the area where they are installed, achieving security for the user.
There are inventions based on the visibility of bicycles through lamps, reflectors, lights, which were made for the same purpose, without really providing the visibility required by the driver of a vehicle, to avoid an accident with a bicycle; since in the night the lights hide the figure of the vehicle that is behind them, (in this case the bicycle and its drivers make invisible) the drivers who go in the opposite direction.
In the same way it happens in the day, because there is no image, color or figure that stands out among the smaller vehicles and even more, on bicycles, creating confusion in visibility. Generating the need during the day and night for a dear presence of visibility of the bicycle in a transit way.
For this reason it is imperative to implement visible safety bicycle of safety which surrounds the frame structures of the bicycle and also surrounds the spokes of the bicycle in its length, bringing with it high visibility, from front to back, vice versa, the sides of the bicycle, day and night alternately, making the bicycle visible 24 hours, thus reducing the mortality of users.
