Helmet lighting system
A helmet lighting system includes a display attachable to a helmet which is selectively illuminated in response to receiving a wireless signal transmitted from a wireless transmitter operably coupled to a brake or direction signal light of the motorcycle. The display includes flexible base housing attachable to an outer surface of the helmet that at least partially houses an illumination module. A flexible applique overlies the illumination module and is at least partially transparent or translucent so as to pass light from LEDs of the illumination module therethrough. The applique is removably attachable to the base housing and/or the illumination module and may be replaced with other appliques having different logos or indicia.

Semi-recumbent bicycle with integrated seat and steering system
A steering system may include a seat assembly, a frame assembly and a wheel. The frame assembly may include a steering tube that is rotatably disposed within a head tube with a cam at a top end and a pair of forks at a bottom end to which is coupled an axle of the wheel. An arm may be disposed on and rotatably coupled to the seat assembly, and rotatably coupled to a left armrest and right armrest. A steering rod may be coupled to the cam and to one of the arms, the left armrest or the right armrest, such that forward movement of one of the armrests causes the steering rod to be translated forward and the cam to rotate in one direction, and backward movement of the same armrest causes the steering rod to be translated backward and the cam to rotate in an opposite direction.

TURN SIGNAL SWITCH
A turn signal switch according to the present invention includes: an operation lever that can be operated to swing along a first operation direction, operated in a pushing operation direction, and operated in a second operation direction that is linear and different from both the first operation direction and the pushing operation direction; and a contact part that switches between a conduction state and a non-conduction state in accordance with the operation. The operation lever is configured to, after one end of the operation lever is operated to swing along the first operation direction or operated in the pushing operation direction, be returned to a neutral position at which the operation lever is held when not operated and, when the one end of the operation lever is operated in the second operation direction, be held at a position at time of the operation.

SEMI-RECUMBENT BICYCLE WITH INTEGRATED SEAT AND STEERING SYSTEM
A steering system may include a seat assembly, a frame assembly and a wheel. The frame assembly may include a steering tube that is rotatably disposed within a head tube with a cam at a top end and a pair of forks at a bottom end to which is coupled an axle of the wheel. An arm may be disposed on and rotatably coupled to the seat assembly, and rotatably coupled to a left armrest and right armrest. A steering rod may be coupled to the cam and to one of the arms, the left armrest or the right armrest, such that forward movement of one of the armrests causes the steering rod to be translated forward and the cam to rotate in one direction, and backward movement of the same armrest causes the steering rod to be translated backward and the cam to rotate in an opposite direction.
