Project an Instant Bike Lane with Lasers

  That's a beautful little invention! I wonder how well it operates in the rain, which is when conditions for bicycle riders are even more dangerous in mixed traffic. Of course an even better solution is proper bicycle lanes.

  ...there is an established common boundary that both drivers and riders respect and must stay within The laser-projector is mounted on the bike, so I guess the bikelane goes whereever the bike does? This, combined with the vigilante-ness of the idea, seems to be a dangerous cocktail when bikers start acting immortal.

    Around here, the bicyclists with a shaky grasp of their own mortality aren't the ones conscientious enough to attach a mobile bike lane; in fact, they usually aren't really the ones with enough scratch for a $10 laser pointer. (demographics: ~20% fitness buffs in spandex and helmets, ~30% hipster kids on fixed gear bikes, ~50% drunks who've lost their license or income)
