Via bicycle design, via dyson (yes, that vacuum dude) come another jacket with lights for cyclists (picture from dyson site). 
The explanation from the dyson site:
Michael was inspired by the Nintendo Wii to come up with Reactiv - a responsive cycling jacket.
The jacket uses an accelerometer that senses movement to change the colour of the LEDs in the back from green (accelerating) to red (braking). It has amber LEDs in the arms which are activated by a tilt switch behind the elbow. These light up when the arm is lifed, indicating the cyclist is about to turn.
I myself burn through jackets pretty quickly. This mostly has to do with carrying my bike up four flights of stairs on a daily basis. This leads to grease stains and tears pretty quickly. Nevertheless, this is a super dope idea.
What I want to see next is a jacket that can express the anger of a cyclist. Like when a car cuts him or her off, or when jogger with headphones in both ears is oblivious to the world around them, or when a dog running around without a leash almost takes you out, or a Rollerblader who takes up the whole path by going back and forth, back and forth , or a pedestrian who does not look where they are going . . . .
Man, I got some angst, I need to go for a ride!
