The Wingman product is intended to be used only as a cycling visibility aid and must not be used for any purpose other than enhancing the visibility and detectability of a cyclist to drivers and vehicles (when equipped with operational collision avoidance systems such as Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) functionalities).

When properly installed and maintained, the Wingman product can enhance the visibility and detectability of the cyclist user when sharing the road with drivers and motor vehicles. However, in no way does the Radian and Wingman make the cyclist user immune from collisions with drivers and/or vehicles, it simply makes the cyclist more visible and detectable to the driver and the vehicle’s collision avoidance systems (e.g., Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking functionalities). The cyclist-user, the driver and the motor vehicle are always responsible for being attentive and understanding their situational awareness in order to avoid collisions, near-misses, and falls that are attributable to collision or near-collision scenarios.

Wingman is a supplemental visibility device similar to high visibility cycling apparel or bike (tail) lighting fixtures. As such, Wingman is designed to enhance the cyclist-users visibility and detectability to drivers and motor vehicles with functioning collision avoidance capabilities that include Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking functionalities. Wingman will not protect the cyclist-user from all foreseeable or unforeseeable collisions or near-misses with drivers and motor vehicles on the roadway.

Cyclist-users should heed the following general warnings: Cyclists should always use good judgment and common sense when operating their bicycle, with or without the Wingman attached. Cyclists-users should also make sure their bicycle, and all related parts and hardware are properly installed and maintained. Importantly, this includes the proper installation, mounting, fitment, adjustment, and reflective alignment of the Wingman by the cyclist-user or any other individuals that handle the product (see website and Owner’s Manual for explicit mounting and usage instructions).

Cyclist-User Misuse Behaviors

The cyclist-user should never purposefully, inadvertently, or negligently ride his/her bicycle fitted with a Wingman device (or otherwise) into the pathway of approaching vehicles, or away from the shoulder of the road, bike lane, bike path, or other area designated, marked or commonly understood areas where cyclists and bicycles are commonly and legally operated. Wingman is designed to provide enhanced visibility and detectability for cyclist-users when riding in the same direction as approaching vehicle traffic. Wingman is not designed or recommended for use in any other scenario or direction orientation.

Importantly, the Radian and Wingman cyclist visibility device is not a substitute for cyclist-user wearing a bicycle helmet; maintaining CPSC ( Section 1512.16) approved traditional light reflectors on all appropriate locations on the cyclist user’s bicycle; wearing high visibility clothing or other similar visibility aides; rear-view mirrors, bike lights (front and rear), or any other safety devices designed to protect cyclists from collisions with drivers and motor vehicles. Radian and Wingman encourages cyclists to utilize these other safety products to the greatest extent possible.

Radian and Wingman does not assume any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of any federal, state or local laws or ordinances relating to the use of the Wingman device.
