Half the University students around here would likely snatch this up.
Million $ idea for sure
Yeah, saw that on the bike Portland site as well. Pretty cool!
That’s FANTASTIC! Any idea who makes it?

It is not yet in production. But the response has been overwhelming so we may indeed see it sometime soon as a real item.

How visible is it to a driver in a car with lights 100 feet away (i.e. very shallow angle), how many watts to project that – and, thus, how long will the battery last?
All I know is that those are lasers, but there were not too many details released as it is only a concept right now.

Indeed … I only see the benefit if you ride at night on airport runways.
Bikes with lasers!!!
YES
The lasers would only be better if we could zap some of the awful drivers out there

friggin bikes with friggin lasers
I just saw a design award for this product and thought it was pretty incredible.
Hopefully it will come to fruition. The youtube video on thier site shows the beta test and you can gauge the visibility from that.
I’d buy one.
Any news on this?
I thought of an even more tri-specific use for this: If you turn it by 90° and adjust it to give a line perpendicular to your riding direction some 7-10 meters behind or in front of you it would make a great draft-zone “reminder” (either for yourself or the guy behind you). It would of course veer off the pre-set distance when the road curves up or down, but on flats or a constant slope it would work just fine. The question is, how well you can see it on asphalt on a sunny day and of course: How many seconds would you lose on a 40k TT due to drag…
