LightLane is a concept gadget that paints a bike lane around your bicycle with laser-light as you pedal through the night:


How about that?!

Here's the blurb:

Feltup

I reckon he would be safer with some proper lights on his bike and maybe a bit of hi viz somewhere

cougie

I think I agree. The bike lane thing doesnt look as if it would be visible until you are up close.

Isn't he also on the wrong side of the road?

far too narrow

gtvlusso

It looks totally gay.

biondino

He's projecting a red light forwards.

Big hit all round, then?

gtv - I thought we'd knocked the use of 'gay' on the head on this forum? Try 'impractical/useless/rubbish/gimmicky' or similar.

I bow to your political correctness, but it still looks in similarity to an alternative lifestyle and vibrant culture - you know, gay ;-)

my 'gimmicky' friend thinks it looks rubbish too.

I've just this minute finished knitting a scarf out of granola and alternative energy products.

Hmmm not the best use of lasers I think.
Now a Blu-ray laser helmet mounted should be enough to burn the eyes out of any misbehaving driver.

What's the first sign of madness?

















Suggs walking up the driveway.
Did you hear Suggs is campaigning against homophobia?
















It's madness gone politically correct.

He's a septic tank (yank) so they all ride on the wrong side of the road.

D'oh.

I've seen posts on american triathlete sites asking if they should ride facing traffic. So ride on the left hand side of the road. As you would if you were running.....

Scary some people.

Seeing as they're American, the obvious answer is that you should always cycle against the traffic - and it is safer in the centre of the carriageway than at the edge :twisted:
