Make your own bike lane as you ride?

By Rich Kelly, Filed Under Cycling, Photos 


How about this for a novel approach to bike lights and visibility? Bring your own bike lane with you wherever you go.

Now aren’t freakin’ lasers the solution to all of society’s ills?

The idea – called the LightLane – (just a concept at this point as far as I can tell) comes from two designers that work for a design firm called Altitude, Inc. Read their original post about the light here.

From the posts by pro- and anti-bikes-on-the-road people on another blog, this would be either a revolutionary enhancement in cyclist safety or the final straw to encourage acts of rage against cyclists by motorists harboring some latent hatred of us.

    Good idea. I’d buy one.

    That thing is ingenious! It seems like it would make night riding much safer.
