Blinc Bike uses two easily attachable and detachable parts.
A Rear View Display is placed on the handlebars and a rear light placed underneath the bike seat.
The camera detects, classifies, and tracks objects invisible to a cyclist.
This helps the cyclist to avoid making any drastic turns that can cause a collision with the identified object.
Riders can receive notifications on the heads-up display or audio alerts through a built-in loudspeaker or corresponding app.
These are sent directly to your smartphone.
The company recentlyraised $2.1 millionin pre-seed funding.
Customers can preorder Streetlogics ADAS with a $30 downpayment.

Holoscene X (Boreal bikes)
German startupBoreal bikeswas founded in 2014.
The company seems to be operating largely in stealth.
The ebike is embedded with a NVIDIA GPU-powered supercomputer.
Its perfect for devs who cycle.
This suggests an interesting bike that would be great for garage hackers.
The company comes with a history for innovation.
The founders were previously working onsmrtGRiPS, the worlds first connected smart grips in 2015.
However, they couldnt raise enough funding to go to market, alas.
But their initiative is pretty impressive for relatively early consumer IoT, let alone a connected bike product.
I think theyll have received some great learnings that the team will reflect in their current work.
The release date for Holoscene X is at this date, unknown.
