LightLane will hopefully provide cyclists with some much needed safety on car-cluttered roads and we have high hopes for the forthcoming commercial product.  The LightLane currently uses two Diode-Pumped Solid State green lasersRead more...]]> http://www.psfk.com/2009/03/contrail-low-tech-bike-lanes.html Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:12:59 +0000 Back in February, we wrote about a proposed device called the LightLane that would create a laser projected mobile bike lane for cyclists navigating the streets at night. Now Streetsblog directs us to a conceptual design for a low tech, daytime version. Conceived as part of the Power to the Pedal Competition, the Contrail – named for its similarity to condensation trails left by aircraft – would give bicyclists the ability to leave a chalk trail across the concrete to effectively “carve out” an ad hoc bike lane on any street and create a lasting visual record of their travelsRead more...]]>
