a potential car crashing into you at night even if there is a lane for you on the road, this actually seems likely if your idea manifests.

wearing a luminous jacket will be more effective, and make you look less of a twat

but he's bicycling TOWARDS the car, who can't see the fancy laser bike lane...

Stupid. If I ever see a cyclist that tries to mark his own personal lane with this shit I will intentionally ride in his comfort zone.

Why not install these on cars so I can expect a "greater margin of safety" from the other cars?

This is why I hate bikefags. Fuck off my /n/.

calm down bb

What the fucking idiotic idea, so when you hop the curb or ride the subway, thats a bike lane? I would get off my bike and beat you senseless if i ever saw that stupid shit. I mean come the fuck on!

ITT: internet toughguys

It's 3 goddamn feet wide you idiots. It's a fucking safety device, not some sort of magic wand that declares ownership of whatever surface you happen to be riding on.

Another bikefag here not thrilled with the idea. If I don't want cars brushing past me, I'm taking the whole fucking lane. If I'm gonna go slower than the cars because I'm going uphill with an extra 20 pounds of groceries on the rack, I'll get off to the side and make a point of blatantly hugging the median.

This is genius. Lots of drivers simply have no spatial awareness and it gets worse at night. Could also be combined with a camera to prosecute dangerous drivers.

Fuck off to /o/

>>71021

lol

Seriously, I do what I can to NOT be seen by cars - I can see and hear them more than well enough thanks, and I've been an intentional target too many times. (see >>71008)

That said, how awesome is it to have lasers shooting outta your ass?!

>>71008
While you're kind of a dick about it, I agree. Having wherever the fuck you want to be become a bike lane? Sounds like it'd cause all kinds of problems.

Now as a sort of device just to make you more visible to cars, fine. But calling it a bike lane just lets people think that they can get it everyone's way because the whole goddamn world is now their own personal bike lane.

>>71131
Not that I'm saying all cyclists are like this, mind you. But I'm sure they're out there.

I'll stick with my planet bike blinking reflector, and riding down the middle of the lane. Thanks.

CHALLENGE MODE

Identify the make and model of OP's pictured bicycle.

Well it would be a good idea if you were really in a bike lane, because then people would see the boundary of the real bike lane and would be less apt to go over that. The problem is is no car is going to take the time to actually look at the bike, they would rather just go slow around it.

>>70990

HAHA. I'd bet the VAST MAJORITY of cage-drivers would probably think the laser bike lane was REAL.

SHEEPLE.

>If I don't want cars brushing past me, I'm taking the whole fucking lane

Yeah, if I ever see a bike taking up the whole lane because they feel they're entitled to it I intentionally follow them too closely until they get scared and ride off the side of the road. I have no sympathy for you. I can tolerate normal bikers that ride on the side of the road or in a bike lane, but this holier-than-thou "Even though I'm going at 1/8th of the speed limit I can take up this entire outbound lane during the evening rush hour, and fuck everyone behind me who disagrees!" bullshit irritates me to no end.

I honestly fantasize about running one of them over one day because I know I will get away with it.

>>71131

Cry on cryfag. Just because it's not /b/ doesn't mean it's a hugbox.

Speak for yourself, courtesyfag.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some rapid transit to post. Have a delicious CTA 'El' at the Fullerton station.

Based on the frame's shape and his choice of clothing, I'd say it's stolen.

if i have to strap 50 goddamn flashlights to my bike in order to improve my chances of not getting hit by a car at night then i will - so the op post is fine with me. if you want to be a ninja bike rider at the expense of safety, go right ahead.

Bikers do not even stop at intersections they just drive across traffic pretending not hearing and seeing you. And they love to drive in the middle of the road when in pairs.

I hope they do not do this in New Jersey; Bikers will ignore the lane anyway and the roads are to short in width.

>>71123

Nice sprocket bro.

>>71217

If you ever did this to me in northside Chicago I would get some U-lock justice.

>>70990
Very good idea. Apparently the creators think this is more useful than actual lights + reflectors...

I hope they get run over.

I'll play your games, internet tough guy. My car will kick your U-lock's ass. I lived on Chicago's northside over the summer, why didn't you do it then? I'll tell you why, because it's Chicago and you know if you even thought about retaliating you'd get your throat sliced open.

Yeah I dont think this device is any good for anything besides a laugh or two. Any one have any ideas to stay properly illuminated yet simple. Im currently ninja biking it but everyones telling me your days going to come soon. Any idea of small but effective lighting that isnt an arm or a leg that will look good on a vintage road bike.

>>71483
Just get some lights with detachable brackets and take the lights off your bike during the day, the brackets aren't large enough to mar the majestic image of your vintage frame.

>>71485 Thanks man what do you think of
ViewPoint Lazer LED Headlight?
I am currently googling reviews but thought id ask someone who knows what they are really talking about instead of being pushed to buy some fail.

>>71491
I've not used one of those before, so I can't comment on that one specifically. The main thing to consider is your purpose - if you want to ride unlit trails at night, start reading reviews and prepare to spend a lot of money on a large, powerful headlight. If you're just looking for something to keep you from being run over on the street at night, any super-cheapo light will work.
