The Seil Bag is a genius backpack for bikers. A wireless controller on your handlebars lets you clearly signal to cars when you're turning right, left or stopping, without taking your hands off the handlebars. I'd love to use this while riding around New York. It's just a prototype right now, but here's hoping this rad backpack is made and sold sometime soon.(Via Go to Public School)
I love walking in New York, I don't have the courage to get on a bike here.

I wish most cities took a page from Montreal when it comes to bicyclists. There are separate concrete curbs designating bike lanes on the streets, so bikers are safe from inconsiderate cars and buses.
ReplyDeleteOh man!! It would be awesome if that was available in time for my brothers "Brunswick to Baja" bike trip!!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is awesome!
ReplyDeleteGenious! Jo, what what NY areas do u usually bike around? XOXO

wow love this!
ReplyDeletewhat a genius idea! These would be great nipping around London town too! x
ReplyDeletei think that for cyclists this is a great idea...i hit a cyclist once (eek-i did, in Edinburgh, not even busy hectic NYC...but he was ok...!)-but these backpacks would seriously help, lots.
ReplyDeleteSo smart!!!
ReplyDeleteNow all I need is place I can ride a bike :)
I would definately buy this pack. In the moment I always forget which sign is which and I'm scared someone won't be paying close enough attention.
ReplyDeleteI would totally buy a backpack like that. Such a brilliant idea:) Have a wonderful Monday. xo
ReplyDeletewhy has it taken so long for someone to make these ? brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteif i were a biker, i would definitely buy the back pack to avoid drivers like myself!
ReplyDelete-jes
Wow. That would be such a great bag to have!

SO SMART! I live in Boulder Coloroado - a super bike town - and even though drivers are generally pretty thoughtful, this is exactly what Im missing. Genius!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Jo

That is so clever. I haven't biked in a whopping 10 years!!!! Mostly because I have been too scared to bike around and unable to turn with one hand on the handles. When I lived in Paris I used to dream about biking on a Velib around the city but was always too scared because of the crazy traffic. This backpack would solve all my worries.
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing idea! I am throwing around the idea of getting a bike with my tax return money...this kind of thing would make me feel so much better about riding around this non-bike-friendly town.
ReplyDeleteI need this badly!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! This would go far in Portland.
ReplyDeletefantastic! great concept.

ReplyDeleteIf anyone is interested in learning to ride in NYC, Bike New York (the people who put on the 5 Borough Bike Tour) has free classes throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteWhether you want to learn to ride a bicycle, learn how to be comfortable commuting, or learn how to work on your bike, Bike New York offers a class. I'm an instructor for the Learn to Ride classes and it's a great organization.
Check out the "Learn" heading at Bike New York
his is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have one of these when shopping at Costco.
ReplyDeletewow! what a great idea! Kisses from Spain!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I think it would solve the problem of the weird arm turn signals that bikers use - I think a straight left arm is left, and a bent left arm is right? Regardless, every time someone signals like that, I think they're turning left, so something like this backpack would lessen the confusion!
ReplyDeleteThat is seriously genius. I will have to share that with my husband, as I tend to run into things when I'm on a bike.
ReplyDeleteGAH so brilliant!! My dear friend was recently hit by a car while biking (she's fine!) because a driver didn't see her signal to turn. Something like this just might do the trick.
ReplyDeleteHilary
Amazing! I want one!
ReplyDeletethis is so smart!
ReplyDeletexo the egg out west.
that is awesome. it would be a great gift for husband.
ReplyDeleteThis is so, so great! I really hope they make this.
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never seen anything like this before! Genius!
ReplyDelete! I'll gladly do some prototype testing! Joanna, how's the bike riding around the city?? I ride my bike all over Ann Arbor and I'm pretty sure I'll be moving out to NYC after I graduate in April. I love the thought of getting around New York on my bike but worry that it's not so bike-friendly!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteo0o yes please!!! i hope it comes to be real. would be really handy.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen this swedish/norwegian new design for a bicyclehelmet? Its an airbag-type, where you just wear a collar which register when you are having an accident! pretty cool if it works...stylish too..:)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.hovding.com/en/news/
I am not one for backpacks, but that is pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I'm a terribly uncoordinated bike rider, but this would make me feel a lot better in not having to take my hands off the handlebars to signal. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a genius idea! Now, if we could only get all the cyclists to buy them and USE them...
ReplyDelete(I was driving to work this morning - I live/work in LA - and some rude cyclist decided the rules of the road need not apply to him, and he proceeded to breeze through every stop sign down a busy street. I love the idea of biking to work, but it's those few people that make everyone hate them so much.)
nice opinion.. thanks for sharing....
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect because I live in Amsterdam!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI've read a few things on this blog and I really do think that it has helped tremendously. There's still a heap I need to
learn thus can continue learning and can keep coming back. Thanks.

The bag is awesome but it's still important to use a deflector or glow in the dark outfit etc at night for safety's sake.

ReplyDeleteGreat Bag.
ReplyDeleteI love it.
