The new Cycle Alert device is now in stock at YUSU-owned Your Shop.CYCLE_ALERT_300px

The University becomes the first in the country to stock the safety gadget which has been introduced following a rise in the number of collisions between cyclists and vehicles on the road.

The device works with sensors which are fitted to a vehicle, a cab-mounted device and a tag that is fitted to the bicycle or worn by a cyclist on their helmet or person.

The three units will work in sync with each other, with the cab-mounted device alerting the driver either by warning or a flashing light when a cyclist is close by.

YUSU-owned Your Shop is currently selling the gadget at £5.

The devices originally went live across the Unibus travel service on 10 October.
