I found this on the net. Looks interesting if you wanted to make a point on a dark night.

Back in the real world there is a light to create the same effect the DiNotte tail light (or better still the 400L), if you want the "illuminated bike lane" effect just add a cut out to your pannier rack and shine the light through it...

Blimey. Have you read some of those comments.

BTW, I think it's a great idea. Just a shame that drivers probably wont be able to see it. (It's probably not that bright and will be completely swamped by car headlights.)
I still think the rider in the photograph should have a rear light!
Perhaps even a helmet?

Hey Hackers, what's the chances of you learning to use the quoting system?

Na should just follow my recommendation of using DiNottes, they really do illuminate the tarmac behind the bike and helmets are a waste of money...

No dear, I have it on good authority from a motorist that a helmet wearing cyclist won't suffer serious injury if hit by a car at 30mph.

"I agree 100% with Kelevra and the fact that there are two of us already means there would be a whole lot of us more out there in the world. Being that self involved to give yourself your own bike lane makes people want to run you over.
This is the stupidest thing ever. We made side walks so that cars could avoid people and people could walk safely, now the cars have to share the road with bicycles? Talk about unsafe.
Why can't bikes just ride on the sidewalks? Are we afraid of pedestrian-bicycle collisions more than we are automobile-bicycle collisions?
RIP Tom Smith, killed by a drunk bike rider while he was walking on the curb. "
Um... Doesn't the last sentence sort of answer the one before? If bikes were allowed on the pavement, wouldn't there be even more pedestrians hit?

Oh? I've been around on the forum, but I haven't had so much to say in commuting for a while perhaps (I think I either get to a thread late, and someone's already said what I think, or I feel I've said it all before or something). Anyway, thanks, it's always nice to be missed.
