Laser path!

"The system projects a virtual bike lane (using lasers!) on the ground around the cyclists, providing drivers with a recognizable boundary they can easily avoid. The idea is to allow riders to take safety into their own hands, rather than leaving it to the city."

Wicked. Wonder if you can adjust it to say "BACK OFF YOU CUNT"

Just seen this. Only a concept, but nice idea.

Well it is a concept only so there could be scope for improvements

Over engineering a solution to a problem that isn't as bad as the perception.

Nice little gadget though and I'd love to be able to tweak it to display my own messages.

surely it would be safer to ride on the correct side of the road?

this reeks of first year design degree project

c'mon, it could even be third year depending upon Uni.

They haven't thought about what happens when the bike leans to take a corner...

or that lasers use up a lot of energy

Completly agree it's a waste of time...

Can't you aready get those laser display things?

more to the point can't you just get lights on your wheel to spell things out?

and they kill ewoks

I hope they go into mass production, then maybe people will need to buy more etalons so I can keep my job.

Seeing as the car coming the other way is also on the wrong side of the road, I think it's entirely justifiable.

Crap facilities are worse than no facilities and this 'bike lane' is way too narrow. Fun idea, of course.

You'll shit bricks when you see it.
