hi my name is Eric with biologic and I'm going to talk about the blast the blast is a cyclo safety air horn that can warn motorists of your presence while you're riding on the road because let's face it sometimes a bell just isn't enough the blast puts out a hundred and fifty decibels of sound that means it's loud vary about how loud let me show you the blast easily goes on and off your bike through a quick-release system you can take it off very quickly so you don't have to worry about it being stolen the blast can be refilled by any regular bicycle pump the volume of the sound can be controlled by the knob on the side so that's a biologic blast because sometimes a bell just isn't enough biking is great but it can also be risky especially in the dark when other road users often don't see you properly and the hand signal usually means waving a black slaves against light hi Kickstarter this is exactly what inspired a group of biking enthusiasts to develop blinker grips an entirely new way for bikers to be seen in the dark when our team at small innovations first started the project we had a clear goal to improve safety for bikers in the dark our guiding principle was to make blinker grips easy to activate and fit all standard handlebars so anyone could use them increased visibility means at all for safety but that's not always cops other old users should also be able to see your intentions it was clear that the end of the handlebar was the most visible place for an extra light and the most intuitive location for an immediate nevertheless the placement brought some challenges since our solution had to endure both bumps and weather that's why blinker grips our splash pool and the tip is made of soft material which absorbs the forces of any impact so you can freely leave your bicycle outside regardless of the weather and you don't have to worry about your bike volley we have been working on the project for ages now improving even the smallest detail after many nights of working and testing and countless broken prototypes later we have finally finished our design bicycle indicator with amazing battery life merged with beautifully curved ergonomic grip and it's even easy to use see the work is not done we have already made the tools but we need your help to purchase the materials in bulk and even more importantly in getting our grips out in the world for everyone to see that there is a new way to illuminate your ride so please help us make biking just a little bit safer for everyone thanks you measuring 24 inches in length neither straps wrap around the front wheel to provide the perfect soft hook to hang your bike from the viewer grip home storage bike rack the view of strap also serves as the perfect tie-down during transport between rides use the velar strap to secure the front wheels to the frame this will minimize movement on your vehicle rack available in five color options sold in two and three pack bundles I was working block away from where I lived so it didn't make sense to start a car so my friends would always say why you ride your bike and I would say I don't have one next thing I know I got a bike and my life has changed because the energy that connects to a bicycle and movement and achievement and all the other things just brought me out of this place it was really two dudes sitting around we're kind of falling out of love with Detroit you know I just moved back from South Beach Miami Mike was working for like doing odds and ends and we just needed something to break us out of our regular mold it wasn't about starting this massive movement it was about how can we reconnect with the city that we love on the very first snow roll I think three people showed up I mean we didn't hit numbers of over ten until probably year and a half we hadn't brought 300 people together before it so when we hit 300 that was when I really was like okay what's going on here because up until that moment we knew everybody that was coming on the ride but when you start hitting numbers over that you start realizing that people that you don't even know I bring in masses and that was the first time I thought this might be out of our control two years ago I came to my first little role here in Detroit and it's absolutely one of the most unique fun exciting bike events I've ever been a part of so you know what the new line of lights and everything it just made sense to come here been apart of slow-roll for four years slow means to me just basically every walk of life getting together getting on a bike and going for the same bike ride new people having a great time while riding exercising Iowa's joke at the first four years we ran from the cops because every corner we just pulled up and with let's go let's go let's go we didn't have that relationship and that's what I think it's been awesome is that the city's really bought in now yeah we're about mics but now I get phone calls about community activism how can I get water to Flint you know so it's not just this this thing that seems so simple which is I ride a bike it's what's the bigger picture to always we've worked very hard to have people understand that we don't own this thing no one owns this so if you want this to last and be something you're proud of get rid of everything that you came here with you came here and you're a group of people that group is now slower but in that moment do you can't deny what this thing has done man for the city of Detroit medical there's never been a time in my life where I've never felt like I shouldn't be here the only time I've ever left it so I can get the skills to come back here and be stronger as long as I've been alive I've been at a truth okay come from an idea is awareness the awareness that you can make change
