Usually as a biker you have to ride in the middle of the lane with pissed off cars behind you or on the sidewalk with pissed off pedestrians. It's a lose-lose for bikers.

I understand motorist frustration very well about that. This gadget gives a visual cue of road space allowed to cyclists: a good idea, but a lateral flag does that too! <br><br>If that thing would be programmable, then it would be fun to have one at bike fests :)<br><br>On the other hand, cars can be fitted with underside lighting gadget as well, so why not on bikes?

It's the far right lane. Not the gutter. Not the sidewalk. But the far right lane. If it's one lane each way, the righthand lane is the bike lane. Pass, when safe and with safety, pass, just like cars. Dunno where you ride, but every public street in the state of Texas has a bike lane. It's the far right lane. Not the gutter. Not the sidewalk.
