This bike-shaped laser projection warns cars that you’re coming

October 10, 2018 Good morning! Riding a bike at night can be hazardous to your health: Most streets still don’t have bike lanes, let alone protected bike lanes. And drivers can have a hard time seeing you, even with the requisite front white light and back red light. To try to make things safer, this new bike light makes it really obvious, by [projecting a large image of a glowing bike on to the road in front of you](. And apparently seeing this bike picture is more helpful to drivers than just seeing a white light. After the lights were added to some of the bike-share bikes in London, a study found that a cyclist with a standard LED light is about 65% visible to someone driving a van, but someone with the new light is about 97% visible. —[Morgan Clendaniel]( [This bike-shaped laser projection warns cars that you’re coming]( [This bike-shaped laser projection warns cars that you’re coming]( The Laserlight Core shoots an image of a bike onto the road in front of you, to give cars a bigger warning that a cyclist is nearby.
