Lausanne, Switzerland-based university of art and design ECAL has unveiled clever and useful bicycle accessories created by its students.



As part of its ‘Savior-Faire’ that showcases new design projects, the series of objects and bike attachments offers cyclists solutions that would come in handy for their daily commute on wheels.



From a bell that doubles as a brake, a snow chain so cyclists can ride with ease in the snow, and strap-on hooks and lights—the student-created bike accessories aren’t just pretty to look at.
