...Alex Tee and Evan Gant’s LightLane device was recently just a concept but is soon to enter reality as a much-needed visual declaration of personal biking space. The two Altitude, Inc. designers know that any amount of panicked shouting or bell-ringing are no match against prevention when it comes to bicycle safety. With a dire shortage of dedicated lanes, LightLane provides urban cyclists with a solution that adapts to them and any route they make take. The compact projector mounts easily to the rear of a bike frame and projects a bike lane-inspired linear pattern that provides great visibility and a familiarity that helps catch a driver’s attention.

    There wasn't a hint of sarcasm or humour in your post. I think that's what too AT by surprise.

    The post comes across as a shameless plug and they're right, we have had this (in about 9 different names), posted quite a lot recently. The only difference I can see between this, and the last time it was posted, is that this time it's red lights instead of green.

    One even had green lights that went red, when a car got too close...

    So, you post a link to a new product, copy and paste the manufacturer's marketing blurb, without further comment, and get prickly when someone asks you what the point of the procedure is, particularly given that you think the product is crap. :?

    Lets just be clear - you have NOTHING to do with the design, manufacture or sale of this product, you just thought you'd post a piece of the marketing material for no reason whatsoever?

    Could you do this with some other products? It will save me looking on Wiggle.
