Abstract: An illuminating garment for making people more visible is disclosed. One or more illumination members and a power source provide a means for illuminating the garment. Pedestrians, construction workers, crossing-guard, motorcyclists and bicyclists are just a few examples of persons which benefit from the illuminated garment. More particularly, a motorcyclist version includes illumination members electrically connected to the motorcycle's brake and turn signal light system. Accordingly, as the motorcyclist operates the brakes and turn signals, a corresponding light source of the garment illuminates in unison with the motorcycle's brake light and turn signals, respectively. A similar system for bicyclists includes a control unit for the bicyclist to enter brake and turn commands. In one version, the illumination members comprise a series of light-emitting diodes.

Abstract: A wireless system for illuminating garments is disclosed. One or more illumination members provide a means for making the intentions of motorcyclists and bicyclists known to others. A motorcycle version includes wireless signals being sent to the illumination members in response to the motorcycle's brake being applied and/or turn signals being activated. Accordingly, as the motorcyclist operates the brakes and/or turn signals, one or more illumination members illuminate to notify others of the braking and/or turning of the motorcycle. A wireless system for disseminating and controlling display information via a network of individuals, including motorcyclists and bicyclists, is also disclosed.
