A lighting system for bicycles having a frame with forwardly and rearwardly disposed portions, including handlebars for guidance, actuable brake means and a seat for providing operator support comprising:
- a forward lighting assembly mounted at said forwardly disposed portion and including a headlamp retaining housing, a forward right turn indicator lamp retaining housing and a forward left turn indicator lamp retaining housing, each said forward right and left turn indicator lamp retaining housings being comfigured having an outwardly forwardly disposed lenticulated lens formed of a plurality of discrete lenticules formed as corner cubes which are arranged to protrude outwardly from each said indicator lamp, said assembly being mountable for turning movement with said handlebars;
- a rearward lighting assembly mountable in stationary fashion rearwardly of said seat and including a stoplight retaining housing, a rearward right turn indicator lamp retaining housing and a rearward left turn indicator lamp and stoplight retaining housings being configured having an outwardly rearwardly disposed lenticulated lens formed of a plurality of discrete lenticules formed as corner cubes each of which is arranged to protrude outwardly from each said housing;
- a battery power supply;
- manually actuable switch means including first switch means actuable for energizing said headlamp from said power supply, second switch means manually actuable to a first position to effect the energization of said forward and rearward lighting assembly right turn indicator lamps, and manually actuable to a second position to effect the energization of said forward and rearward lighting assembly left turn indicator lamps, and third switch means manually actuable to effect the dual energization of both said right and left turn indicator lamps of said forward and rearward lighting assembly, said manually actuable switch means being mounted within a switch housing fixedly mountable upon said frame in the vicinity of said handlebars for providing manual access thereto by said operator;
- an illumination network including an oscillator circuit responsive to said actuation of said second switch means into said first and second positions and to said actuation of said third switch means to effect said respective right turn indicator lamps, said left turn indicator lamps and said both right and left turn indicator lamps energization in oscillatory fashion from said battery power supply;
- housing means for retaining said battery power supply and illumination network, removably mountable upon said frame and including electrical connector means accessible externally of said housing means and electrically connected with said illumination network and said battery power supply;
- and
- a wiring harness mounted with said frame and effecting electrical communication between said forward lighting assembly, said rearward lighting assembly, said manually actuable switch means within said switch housing, said batter power supply and said illumination network and including a connector manually removably connectable with said housing means electrical connector means.
