Absolutely love it – a must-have, at least until we get proper bike lanes and roads (like in Scandinavia and the Netherlands).

Superb concept. Makes a point in a city deprived of bike lanes.

…Excellent invention.I would pay $100 for one. Milwaukee streets have a couple dozen or so bike lanes, but the ability to take the lane with you: Awesome!!!!

this is sweet, it’s a really nice idea. I was thinking about something as well to make the roads safer, especially for kids. If you want to have a look.

Creating a virtual bike lane gives the motorist a “TRUE FRAME OF REFERENCE”. Projecting onto the road from the frame itself prevents eye contact directly from the light which is a safety feature for both rider and driver. Drivers protect themselves from Danger first,then what they endanger second. Human nature prevails .Ignore it and pay the price and cost. This is Terrific. Hope to see it soon at bike shops around the world. Oversea’s demand is far greater than USA, but we will catch on.

Bike lighting options seem to be improving in leaps and bounds. I ride at night and usually decorate my bike with battery-powered Christmas tree lights. This bike lane lighting idea is a cute one and might work but it seems like a lot of the stength of the light will be lost as it refects off the pavement. The idea of creating bike lanes is that over time they become common place, expected and accepted. This temporary one reaches for none of those goals. Good try but I think that stick with my christmas tree lights.

Would the light really show up during daylight hours?

What problem could be stopped by using this great idea to increase visibility for all bicycle riders!!!
