Bicycle safety wing

A bicycle safety wing is an arm attached to the side of a bicycle.

Its purpose is to keep other vehicles from passing too closely.

[1] It is usually made of brightly colored plastic, and ends with a retroreflector.

French law allows for bicycle safety wings up to 40 centimetres.
