A reader named Steve brought this Light Lane concept to our attention. Dustbowl is a design blog produced by the Altitude design firm. Designers Alex Tee and Evan Gant think that using lasers to project a bike lane around a cyclist could have a profound impact the rider’s safety.

i love the idea, but i would be worried that motorists would be so confused and intrigued by the traveling bike lane they wouldn’t even notice the rider and run right over me.
thats just another “Double Parking Lane”
how about sharks with “lasers”?
Technically imaginative, but potentially very harmful. This “virtual bike lane” would imply that there is a full car lane to the left (or right) of the cyclist. A car trying to maneuver with a good understanding of bike lanes could create a very dangerous situation with traffic either oncoming or in the same direction. Also it would look completely incomprehensible with riders 2 abreast or one rider passing another.
how about lazer 40′s instead!
Where I can buy it?
Interesting, but I would be worried about delivery trucks trying to park in front of me while riding.
If it’s only a few feet in front and at the back of the rider, I don’t think it will be mistaken for a parking lane. I like it.
What a brilliant idea! I want one.
I like it. Will it work if you have a rack on the back of your bike, or will that block the beams? Where do I get One?
I love the idea and would like something like it that would work during the day!
My only worry is that *wherever* the cyclist is becomes a bike lane, including down the yellow line. Not all of *us* obey the rules either…
I want buy it…where can i buy it??
I lived in korea
