Make Your Own Bike Lane

It’s a little hard to take a short video Safety First seriously when it shows someone riding his bike through a busy pedestrian area, but you still may find this self-projected bike lane kind of cool.  It reminds me a bit of the Light Lane, although unlike that idea, the “bike lane” in Safety First is only projected in front of the rider.

I think these ideas are more interesting than effective, since neither one is a substitute for a separated or even painted bike lane.  Mere light on the ground only works if someone is around to project it, and may not give drivers the advance warning they need to keep an eye out for cyclists.

Still, this may be the kind of bike lane that even a NIMBY can love.
