Check out this cool video of a new type of bike light that I came across over at CBC.ca (email subscribers can view the video on our blog).
I don’t know whether drivers will naturally view this as a “virtual bike lane” (to me it looks more like the jets on the Starship Enterprise), but in my opinion anything that makes a cyclist more visible to traffic is probably a good thing.
While I haven’t tried it, the unit in the above video can be purchased for $39, which seems like a reasonable price for a good bike light in any case. I’d love to hear what people think of it in the comments.

A laser line indicating the bit of road you expect to use seems reasonable, especially if cars can festoon themselves with sequential BLINK-tag turn indicators in the name of safety.
How entirely spiffy. It looks very clever. I wonder if it could somehow be mounted to a horse’s tail-wrap, too, to make it usable for other forms of non-automotive locomotion.
But if it is moving with the bicycle, how can the auto drivers double-park there and block it?
That is the coolest thing ever…I want one! Anything to make us cyclists safe, I’m in favor of!
I want one for the car, projecting a line perpendicular to the road in back of the car to establish a ‘no tail-gating’ zone.
If these catch on, the roads at night may look like a Flatland version of Vegas as we all try to be noticed in a spiraling arms war of laser effects. Speaking of effects, can’t we have lasers that simply cut off portions of objects intruding into our defined space?
