Relates to the device.

  The structure and arrangement of the bicycle itself is relatively simple, and although the reflector 1 as shown in FIG. 1 is installed in many cases, the light reflecting effect of the reflector 1 is passive, and its reflection Since the warning action cannot be positively exhibited like the light emission warning action of automobiles and motorcycles, many dangers have been increased on the contrary. In contrast, the importance of attaching a travel aid to a bicycle has become more prominent.

  In actual use, safety lights, headlights, turn signals, and wireless communication devices are generally travel aids that are used when riding a bicycle. Lights and headlights belong to a travel aid for normal operation, and direction indicators and wireless communication devices belong to travel aids that require timely operation. For example, the direction indicator lamp is switched to turn on the indicator lamp in any direction when the direction is changed, and after the direction change is completed, the lit indicator lamp is turned off.

  In addition, it is necessary to operate the speech function of the wireless communication device by pressing and holding the call button on the transceiver for a while, which is not only inconvenient for the use of the driving assistance but also especially for the operation of the driving assistance. On the other hand, there is a possibility of causing a danger because the function needs to be controlled.

  In view of this problem, a main object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle travel assistance device that can improve the convenience of operation of the travel assist device and increase the safety when riding a bicycle. .

When the button is pressed or switched, the RF signal can be transmitted continuously, and the driving aid can receive the RF signal via the wireless signal adapter and activate its related function in synchronization. .

  As a result, when a user needs to operate a travel aid such as a turn signal lamp or a wireless communication device while riding a bicycle, the related functions of the travel aid are activated using the RF signal emitted by the controller. This not only improves the convenience of operation of the travel aid, but also increases the safety when riding a bicycle.
