But the worst part he said whilst cycling to epping forest was that it actually made cyclist more jumpy when they saw the green light approaching and usually made them serve more closer to the pavement and one time almost caused a cyclist to crash.

As in, when he approached a cyclist from behind (oo'er) travelling in the same direction, the sudden appearance of a blurry green image under their tyres had them startled and nearly made them crash?

Not saying this didn't happen, but I'd like to think that most cyclists would not immediately lose control from seeing an inexplicable image projected onto the road.

Yep, from behind.

I think most cyclist would be alright with any bright lights behind them, but I can imagine with an image projected on the floor most would probably think what it was and where and what it was coming from. This I believe could have distract the cyclist and take his attention off the road/ road conditions.

Zactly.

Everyone is used to seeing lights on the road. No-one is used to seeing glowing, green bikes projected around them.

My first thought would be that someone is highlighting me as a cyclist, rather than being warned of another cyclist.
