Velodroom wanted to gather fresh ideas for bicycle accessories. Normally, they would look for ideas within their own team. Instead, they turned to the over one million engineers and designers on GrabCAD. Here's how GrabCADrs created a larger variety and higher quality ideas faster than ever.TRANSCRIPT

1st place
“LED wheel lights already exist on the market, but this is a product that could fit well with the Velodroom brand. I like the USB changing and simple installation. The addition of an automatic accelerometer based on/off would set this product
apart.” -James Thomas, Bicycledesign.net

2nd place
This is an interesting idea. I like the fact that the LED bracelets work with (and amplify) simple hand signals. It needs a lot of development and fitting all of the components into a small package will be a challenge, but I see this one as the
idea with the most potential as a new safety product.

3rd place
This design has definitely some common lines with Velodroom brand and fits in very well. Would like to have one. Nice job!
