A glove 1, suitable for use by a cyclist, comprises a fabric material and has a flexible elongate light strip 3 extending across the outer surface 4 of the glove. The light strip 3 extends from the base of the palm to the base of the little finger of the user over the back of the glove 1. The glove 1 may also include a signal receiver, a transmitter and means to provide a warning signal to the wearer, all contained in a housing 7 which is incorporated into the wrist strap 2. In use, the light strip 3 provides improved visibility for the cyclist, while the transmitter interacts with a proximity sensor in approaching vehicles, while proximity sensors on the glove or in the bicycle frame interact with transmitters in the vehicles.
