The SmartHalo is essentially a cycling companion with a minimalist interface that can help, navigate, protect, encourage, assist and light your way when you are out on your bike. With a clean design and a light-up halo indication, it is simple and attractive to use.
When you have spent hundreds or even thousands of pounds on your bike, you will want to keep it in the best of nick: taking time to clean and maintain your bike will become as important to you as getting out on the road or trail. When I was a kid and I needed to work on my bike, I would flip it upside down and rest it on the handle bars and saddle, an action that would make many serious cyclists turn green just at the thought of it. The Elite Race Pro Work Stand is the stand of choice for pro teams like Europcar and Katusha.
Simply screaming expletives at other road uses from your bike to make them aware of your presence is often frowned upon, so to combat this, Orpland have created a solution by producing the world’s first combination dual-tone bike horn & beacon light.

First things first, I need to explain that this isn’t a light to help you be see when you are cycling from work in the winter - this is a light that allows you to see the road and surrounding area whilst night riding. Anyone who lives in the countryside can appreciate how dangerous it can be riding in the dark; one pot hole or rock on the road can send you flying into the undergrowth when travelling at speed.
As smartphones slowly absorb every other gadget’s purpose into their own arsenal like some unstoppable technical amoeba, it’s become increasingly difficult to leave you phone behind when participating in any activity.
