Laser-made bike lane could save lives

A safety device that projects a bright green laser image of a bike on to the road ahead — alerting motorists to its presence — could be a life saver.

Developed by Emily Brooke, a student at the University of Brighton in England, the invention has won her a place at Babson College in Massachusetts in the US, on an entrepreneurship programme, the university said.

Her innovation, BLAZE, is a small, battery-powered device that is attached to the handlebars of bicycles, motorcycles or scooters, and projects a laser image on to the road ahead — via redwolf.newsvine.com
