    I'm really enjoying the ICE Sprint Trike the more I ride it . I have never felt more vulnerable on the bike compared to a conventional upright. However I will concede that certainly around town and in traffic/ parked cars you are less obvious to others. Now of course you can use any number of flags etc but i've always found that whatever colour clothing/flags are a 'static' colour can just be 'looked through' by a careless observer. I think flashing lights work best.

    So that got me thinking. what if I could...

    I like the idea of mounting them on a pole above the trike.
