JarradVZ Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 That's not gonna work!Most cycling accidents are not rear-end collisions but rather side-on or head-on at intersections. How is a lane trailing behind you going to stop the retard truck-driver from caning you at an intersection he ignores?
madmarc Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I'd like to see what the road looks like when riding in a 20 strong group all with this type of light. Much confusion i think - anyway it only works at night???
Christopher Brunsdon Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I like the idea, but I'm going to have to correct you Tim. Most accidents happen because cyclist are uneducated. This evening I saw very few on the road with lights! or even helmets - commuters!!! It seems that commuters believe they do not need to be visible or have any protection.
cat-i Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Bike-lane-lighthttp://www.h2ovisions.com/smart-design/byol-bring-your-own-lane/ a friend wants to know where he can get one for singletrack?
Capricorn Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 i think it's a good idea, but if you argue a bunch of cyclists are gonna mess it up, then tehy are a bunch of fools. ridiculous argument. idiots aside: for riding at night in dedicated cycling lanes, ths should help. BUT, i imagine some chop is gonna make up his own 'dedicated lanes' whereever the light hits.imagine being able to program in your own little messages to honking drivers behind you
louis0852 Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Stupid idea, if you can see the line on the road, 100percent chance you saw the cyclist first
Christopher Brunsdon Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Well my wife says my hi-vis jacket works well enough (Molecular, Cape Union Mart). This evening she had to look for me at our local park after I took my little one for a spin on his Y-bike and we got carried away. The little monster did > 2km and he is only 2years old. But anyway, she saw me way before I saw her car
Solstice Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Instead of knocking it, why not try it out. Any means of increasing ones' visibility on the road surely would be useful. Just a thought...
JarradVZ Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Let's just all stop riding on the road. It's crap anyway.
