We're all being encouraged to ditch our motors, dust off our cycles and saddle up.

But there are certain dangers to cycling, especially in London town, and especially at night, even with lights.

This concept jacket, should it go into production, could save a fair few knocks and scrapes.

The DIY Turn Signal Biking Jacket uses LED technology lighting up two arrows on the back of the jacket, which will show drivers which way you are going to turn as you pootle along.

It's got to be much safer than taking one hand off the handle bars to raise your arm, which makes all of us less experienced cyclists wobble uncontrollably before we head off round a corner.
