There’s nothing more annoying – and frightening – for cyclists than trying to navigate a bicycle-unfriendly area with no bike lanes. Cars come way too close for comfort, especially at night. So, what if you could make your own bike lane with a couple lasers mounted on your bicycle?

A product called ‘LightLane’ does just that, painting a virtual path around your bike with lasers so vehicles know to keep a safe distance. Check out the video:

LightLane is just a prototype for now, but soon it’ll be available commercially.

    That’s an awesome idea! In the picture, though, (vs. the video) it seems like it’s easier to see in red.

Got something to say?
