It will be interesting to see if if works. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9039#post-92996 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 19:21:28 +0000 custard 92996@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>main gripe for me is how big it is </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9039#post-92994 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:50:41 +0000 Uberuce 92994@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was about to post a joke about recumbenistas wanting their own version, then I realised it was a sensible suggestion - the lower mount point would require a different beam pattern to account for the more acute angle. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9039#post-92985 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:41:40 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 92985@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>From Kickstarter (they've had the same concern):</p> <p>"<em>Attitude to Riding Safely: BLAZE does not make you invincible!! We are anticipating peoples' concerns that BLAZE will encourage people to ride more dangerously and take more risks, feeling 'safer' with BLAZE. Although we are confident that anyone wanting to buy a bike light with such a strong safety message will already be more than aware of the dangers of being caught in a vulnerable position and therefore would not take such risks, we will be sending out messages with the product to remind users to ride safely! In fact, we believe it will be a fantastic educator, it will make people think about the blind spot and consider their visibility.</em>"</p> <p>Interesting, though I'm not sure it <em>will</em> actually do what it says it'll do... But interesting... I wonder if they'd want to loan out a prototype... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9039#post-92981 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:24:44 +0000 BikeFan 92981@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Young inventor: My bright idea to cut cycling deaths.</p> <p>A graduate entrepreneur is raising money from the public for her start-up which tackles the key cause of cyclists’ deaths on the roads. </p> <p><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/yourbusiness/9712534/Young-inventor-My-bright-idea-to-cut-cycling-deaths.html#">Link to article and video clip in today's Telegraph</a></p> <p>Hmmm, I have a feeling that some folk could use this as licence to cycle up the nearside of lorries, buses, etc., and think that they're invincible. Hopefully not. </p>
