A system suitable for use by cyclists comprising a personal electronic device (PED) 13 such as a mobile phone, one or more sensors, a wearable accessory 18 having electrically activated features 14, a software application (app) installed on the PED, wireless means for signals to be sent between the PED and the accessory, where the app processes sensor data and generates and sends control signals to the accessory for the actuated features. The sensors might measure acceleration, or receive GPS signals. Preferably the accessory is a helmet and the actuated features are brake, indicator or hazard lights. Preferably the lights are lasers which project onto the ground around the user. A helmet and an app are claimed as additional aspects of the invention. Using the sensors already found in a mobile phone, brake, indicator and hazard lights can be triggered in a helmet without anything needing to be fitted to the bike itself.
