2 industrial design students, Ethan Frier and Jonathan Ota, at Carnegie Mellon University, document Project Aura whose aim is creation of bicycle safety lighting system with pedal powered hub dynamo.
In my restaurant years, i found myself on late evenings while driving back from work passing bicycle riders without any safety lights. Many of them I bet were immigrant restaurant workers.
In Europe many bicycles come equipped with dynamo powered front and rear lights.
Not always so in the U.S.
Project Aura is more an addition than a substitute for these.
What could be greener than design combined with safety and health.
