  • There has been a collaboration between the Ruislip Woods National Nature Reserve Management Advisory Group and Brunel University for some 2 1/2 years, principally with their Centre for Flood Risk & Resilience.
    They have helped us improve the array of natural flood management that we have installed in Park Wood SSSI, to reduce the flood risk for some 80 residential properties between the woodland and the River Pinn.

    On Wednesday the 11th of December I gratefully accepted an inviation to attend the Brunel Design School Industry Review event where some 60 students presented posters of their final year projects.

    Muayed is proposing to design a better bike light, to reduce the risk of cycling.
    I'm certain the hive mind here can offer him some suggestions based upon experience,
    not just of cycling at night,
    but also the demerits of those bike lights already commercially available.

  • This is going to sound trite, but there is nothing wrong with 99% of the bike lights on the market. No new tech bike light will ever make riders safer. Drivers don’t look, don’t care or are just bad drivers.
    Unless your light has a way of physically stopping a car that is.
    Sorry.

    Solid point, the 'risk' of cycling is often not the responsibility of the cyclist.

  • No new tech bike light will ever make riders safer.

    Seems like a dubious claim... Anyone seen those laser bike lane ones? Surprised they didn't become more of a thing.
