About SideLights
Born on a bike.
Made for everyday rides.
A simple idea: integrate lights into the handlebar to make cyclists more visible without complicating their rides.
Our starting point
One ride. One idea. SideLights.
One evening while cycling, Arthur Claessens imagined a complete lighting system integrated into the handlebar.
The idea gradually became handmade prototypes, notably with Tim Hofer and Claude Allenspach, two former fellow students at HEIG-VD.
A high-level BMX Racing cyclist and a bike enthusiast, Arthur brings that same attention to everyday rides.
