Put a ring of safety around you and your bike.
THE PROBLEM
1. 2014 report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
2. Bicycling.com (https://www.bicycling.com/training/health-injuries/ride-smart/slide/1
Most cycling accidents occur at night, and because motor vehicles get too close to the cyclist.
Typical bicycle lights are necessary and functional. Yet they don't provide nearby traffic with an adequate visual reference of where the cyclist is on the road.

HALO's design might be clever, but manufacturing the product will be straightforward and economical.
Plastic parts are small and simple requiring straightforward tooling. Electronics are basic: a circuit for the LED and battery charging are all that is required. Assembly would be quick and efficient.
HALO could be retailed in small, unique cylindrical packaging like the one below and priced at ~$30.

HALO uses a patent-pending design to create an extremely visible static or flashing ring of light that completely encircles the cyclist.
This ring of light, or halo, defines the cyclist's 'safety zone' and provides motorists with a much better visual indication of the rider's location on the road.
Simply put, used in tandem with headlamps and taillights*, HALO provides a huge increase in 360° visibility and therefore a huge increase in safety.
HOW HALO WORKS
* HALO is not intended to replace headlamps and taillights.
Fits right on the bike frame
without infringing on cyclist's space...

Comparison
HALO works perfectly for all rider types, from young children to active adults.
Plus with different style adapters, HALO will work on virtually any type of bike, from tricycles to e-bikes, scooters and more.
HALO could also be used for skate boards, snow boards, jogging strollers, etc., opening the door to many other markets.
While HALO is clearly a better solution, the success of its competitor proves there is substantial market demand for a product like HALO.
