what would be the greatest invention for keeping roadies safe?

[Seepglad]

most car hits seem to occur from behind, how to prevent or limit, knowing law enforcement as it is?

 

reason for q: saw something made in Technopark that blew MY mind, and will get me back onto a road bike again, after abandoning road riding some years ago.

 

Nearest guess wins a prototype try-out

An airbag of sorts ?

Or a Startrek type beam.

A mountain bike

Lazer beams projecting a couple meters in front of the cyclist; to the side and sommer behind him also. Like a big red triangle with a bicycle in it shining on the road. Big enough for drivers to see in the road. Flashing maybe.

 

Edit: It's already invented though.

Ah, I should have read the latest posts before making an ass of myself.

 

As an aside, did you see Google has started city tests with them in SF?
