Next best thing to a Guardian Angel? How about a Guardian Bike? That’s the entertaining premise of the new Guardian Bikes video featuring a white-winged one-liner-dropping angel trying to stop 300,000 visits to the hospital each year for “bike-related injuries.” How? “Ka-plow!” the angel explains — with a Guardian Bike, the “first accident prevention technology for bikes.” Helmets, the angel points out, only help after an accident occurs — they may help prevent an injury but do nothing to prevent an accident in the first place. (Guardian Bike won an investment from Mark Cuban on Season 6 of Shark Tank, and keeps improving its innovative safety technology.)
The Guardian Bikes SureStop tech promises 44% faster stopping time and balances the pressure between the front and rear brakes, keeping kids from doing headers over the handlebars. Guardian promises a 100-day test drive period and will take the bike back “no questions asked” if you return it during the first 100 days. Check out their bike sizer at GuardianBikes.com. (Just like the angel sings.) Company mission: “Today, our mission is to prevent accidents, both for the customers of the Guardian Brand and through our partners who offer our SureStop braking system as standard equipment on their bikes.”
