The invention is a utility belt used to alert vehicles and pedestrians to the presence of a cyclist through a built-in LED lighting device. Another function of the safety utility belt is to alert vehicles and pedestrians of the direction the cyclist intends to turn by the use of built-in LED turn signal indicators. The utility belt is composed of a shock resistant, water resistant, silicone rubber belt. The electronics associated with this belt are encased within the silicon rubber belt to protect the electronics from shock and weather conditions. The cyclist has complete control over the brightness and alternating frequency or speed of the warning lights. This allows the cyclist to adjust to various traffic conditions. The cyclist can control whether the LED warning lights will be flashing or non-flashing. This adjustment allows the cyclist to use the non-flashing lights when cycling with other cyclists, therefore not interfering with the vision of other cyclists. The cyclist also has the ability to adjust to daylight versus nighttime lighting conditions.
