Slow down, Listen Deeply.
Symbiote
Symbiote is a dual-purpose bike light mount designed to support both safety and emotional confidence in young children learning to ride. Inspired by Spider-Man’s web aesthetic, it features a playful Voronoi mesh basket that holds a soft toy while also securely mounting a Cateye bike light.
The front mount creates the illusion that the toy is holding the light, encouraging emotional attachment and reducing fear for new riders. The design is fully optimised for FDM 3D printing, using PLA and techniques like fuzzy skin texture to enhance tactile appeal. With modular clamps, no required supports, and compatibility with standard hardware, Symbiote is not just a light mount, it’s a friendly companion that makes learning to cycle safer, easier, and more exciting for kids and parents alike.
