Hello, I have a project from school. I want to make a gadget that has red leds at the back and white leds facing front. Also, I would like to know how to put a sensor that calculates the speed of a bicycle and sound a buzzer when the bicycle moves too fast. Any advise on how to do this?

Thank you. I am making something to improve the safety of bicycles. I would like to have red leds facing the back and white leds facing front. I would like to have a sensor to sense the speed of the bicycle. If possible, I would also want something like a gyroscope to detect falls and activate a buzzer. Please help me about what I should use. Thank you.

There are several components available on the market that do what you want, but to build the 'system" I might suggest an LED flashlight and a small LED taillight from a car. The 'gyro' will need a small motor to keep it spinning and a "trigger" to switch the buzzer when it moves off the preset axis.
