Bicycle Lasers (Peww, Peww, Fzzzzt)
Filed Under: Green Technology on June 14, 2009
I’ll give TreeHugger.com props for one thing: they know bicycles. They seem to be completely in love with the things. Maybe too much. In fact, the way TreeHugger talks about these things, and if they had their way, we’d all give up all our nasty modern, pollution-emitting contraptions and go back to the 18th century. Except for bicycle technology, of course.
Anyway, editorial on TreeHugger aside, there’s a cool article that published on June 9th about a nifty little laser doo-dad that attaches to your bike and creates a “halo” around the bike and rider to give cars around you much better visibility. It even detects when something has broached that radius and changes color to alert them.
“Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!” Peww, peww!
OK, maybe not like that, but you get the idea. Read the full article here and wonder at all this modern technology. Then move to the city and get a bicycle.
