let there be light lanes
I used to ride my bike around NYC. Then one day I was “doored,” and that was that — I was too scared to get back on a bike in city traffic. That’s why I love the idea of the light lane, a concept from the designers at Altitude, Inc. According to the Good magazine blog, “The system projects a virtual bike lane (using lasers!) on the ground around the cyclists, providing drivers with a recognizable boundary they can easily avoid.” That could help prevent some of the thousands upon thousands of bike accidents that happen each year. –Erica P.
Hey man! You cannot get doored from behind so this light cannot prevent back-dooring so to speak.
I am a rider too, I live in the country now and admitedly I ride a lot less, but I have had my share of dooring, flipping, sumersaulting, sliding etc. IMHO things that come up from ahead of you are not as lethal as the things coming up in front of you which is where this light help a lot.
