As a cyclist of the urban roads I know (from experience) how dangerous it can be out there. Not only do you have to look out for debris on the road, potholes and just plain ignorant and inexperienced drivers, but night riding brings all sorts of new issues, visibility being the main one. One thing that makes for a safer, more comfortable ride especially at night is finding yourself on a road honored with a bike lane. Bike lanes give you the confidence of knowing that you have your own designated area to ride in. The problem with bike lanes is that they are a rarity out there and are usually only found on the busiest streets. Alex Tee and Evan Grant of Altitude have come up with this concept bike lane, the Light Lane. The Light Lane is a virtual bike lane that is projected onto the road with a laser, giving the cyclist a clearly defined passage on the road at night time. This is a great concept that would make it much safer to ride your bike on the mean streets at night.
