Stay out of my lane!!!!
A close brush with a distracted driver is enough to intimidate any avid bicycler from riding at night. You've probably seen small blinkers and flashers tucked just below the seat but that isn’t enough. Evan Gant & Alex Tee have designed a night light lane to help protect cycles from the daily traumas taken throughout the city.
Only a small fraction of streets have dedicated bike lanes, and with an installation cost of $5,000 - $50,000 per mile, we shouldn't expect to find them everywhere anytime soon. Light Lane projects a crisply defined virtual bike lane onto pavement, using a laser, providing the driver with a familiar boundary to avoid. With a wider margin of safety, bikers will regain their confidence to ride at night, making the bike a more viable commuting alternative.
Personally I know I am petrified at the thought of cycling on London road, this is a winner! I definitely want one now! Evan and Alex make it and call Boris!
