Laser Bicycle Lane Survey!

Hi everyone!

My name is Catherine and I am a student at Babson College. I'm currently working on the development of a bicycling safety product along with my team. As part of our business class, Fundamentals of Management and Entrepreneurship, my team and I are trying to improve cycling on the streets and create a safer environment for both cyclists and drivers. We created LightSavior! LightSavior is a traveling bicycle lane. It utilizes a strong laser light that shines from the back of your bicycle at an angle. It hits the road projecting a bicycle lane parallel to the cyclist, so that the incoming driver has a good estimation of how far away he/she should be driving from the cyclist. The results we receive from the survey will be a guideline for our marketing plans, it will be used to interpret whether or not our product is feasible, and if it can move to the next stage of implementing. We just need 100 responses but we are lacking cyclists in our personal contact list-- which is why I am posting in here -- so if you could all please fill out the survey, I would appreciate it. It is only nine questions and should only take a minute. Thank you all in advance! The results will be posted on BikeForums!

There's the problem.

Just FYI, it's been done more than once. Survey result: I ride at night and don't have one on my bike.

You didn't create this, it's been done. It generally doesn't work well, and cars can't see it until they're very close. It is no substitute for good lights.

It's been done. I have a few. One even has a bike graphic in the middle of the lane. There is also a headlight that does the same in green.
