Many urban cyclists' biggest fear is dooring: a car door opening directly in front of them with little to no time to react. In this case, cyclists only have two options:

  • Being hit by the car door
  • Swerving into traffic

WHY BYKESAFE

  • A different approach, using sensors and real-time data.
  • To reduce the likelihood of dooring, our solution aims to extend your available reaction time by using infrared sensors to provide bikers with alerts to look out for car doors ahead.​
