Abstract
A safety reminding device for a bicycle with a basket or other carrying structure includes a detecting unit to detect whether an object in the basket or other structure of a bicycle is a person when determining that the bicycle is unlocked. The device can output a warning signal when determining that a person is sitting in the basket, to warn the user that the basket is forbidden as a seat, and a server of this system can also impose penalties on the user, such as credit point deductions, and also apply the brakes of the bicycle braking system until the forbidden situation is ended. A safety reminding method is also provided.
