The city of Funchal in the island of Madeira, Portugal, with the participation of the European Union has released a reflective safety band that can be applied on arms or legs when biking or walking, in order to easily spot pedestrians on the streets at night. They are called wrap-slap bands and you can also buy them in online stores.
Strictly speaking, there is no technical innovation here, since these bands resembles a line of popular bracelets popular in the 90s (at least in Italy). The innovation here is in the usages: these arm or leg bands can be used for safety purpose and, because they are freely provided by the community as a part of a sustainability promotional program, they also serve as communication tool to encourage people to use bikes as primary transportation.
