Cyclists always lose in an altercation with a car, but with a new product currently raising funds on Kickstarter, you’ve got something watching your back.
The Fly6 Camera & Tail-Light Combo is the first cycling camera and tail-light accessory that records what happens behind you as you ride.
“We have a big mission – to make drivers aware they might be recorded, so they behave appropriately,” reports the company.
The idea for the light came after one of the company founders was shot with a slingshot at point blank range by the passenger in a car as he was cycling in Australia.
The Fly6 attaches to your seat post and also functions as a tail light; when the camera is on, the device flashes with a bright strobe pattern.
Running on a USB rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery, the Fly6 will record five hours of 720p video on a single charge. It can record on a loop, so you just turn it on and forget it, just charge after every few hours of riding.
