    Every year, hundreds of expert cyclists and bicycle lovers have accidents caused by
road hazards, by riding into the sun, tiredness, motorists looking at their phones, or by
the thousands of other distractions that can occur in real time.

    Byxee is a smart safety device that detects hazards on the road to alert the cyclist
before they collide.

    Its advanced video system checks the road up to 80 feet (25m) ahead. It detects road
surface irregularities from about 3 inches (7cm) in size, such as potholes, gratings,
bumps, patches, and other hazards. Unexpected moving obstacles can also be detected-for
example, cats, balls, a pedestrian, a car door and so on.

    Byxee alerts the cyclist beforehand: its unique acoustic signal will alert the rider
before she encounters the hazard, so she can make proactive riding adjustments in real
time to keep both the bike and herself away from danger.

    Byxee is designed to be a reliable third eye for cyclists on the road. Byxee will
never get tired, it will never become distracted. Its purpose is to scan the road ahead at
all time.

    Byxee is for any rider and for any bike handlebars. Byxee has 28 sensitivity settings
for any speed and ride style.

    Nowadays, many cars are equipped with active safety technologies that are considered
the future of injury prevention. This technology is now available in an innovative
lightweight device built by cyclists for cyclists who want to prevent accidents.

    When cycling, it's a matter of seconds for a good ride to turn bad. The bottom line is
Byxee makes your ride safer when the seconds matter the most.

    The Team

    Byxee's Team has vast experience and an excellent track record in the fields of
artificial intelligence and detection algorithms. The Team is also responsible for the
creation of semantic technologies and innovative smart technologies for a widely-known
Italian sports car brand. Byxee is now looking for supporters all over the world to join
them in their life-changing project. Help us make cyclists around the world ride safer.
