Just in case your were curious, the LightLane—a device which “projects a virtual bike lane (using lasers!) on the ground around the cyclist, providing drivers with a recognizable boundary they can easily avoid” (that’s from when we wrote about previously)—has made the jump from concept to prototype. Check out the video from their new site to see it in action, and sound off in the comments if you still think it could work.
*Some people think it’s a stupid idea.

I think this is brilliant. I guess well lit place will obscure it, but those darker streets/pathways etc, this is a fantastic innovation and congratulations to the team behind it.
Great idea, certainly creates the concept of “space”. However, I was in a real bike lane when a cab hit my bike. Hopefully the mesmerising green light will remind them that humans don’t bounce. I’d buy it.
Fantastic idea. What about daytime?
good idea.
this is great!
