Bicycle Safety … The LightLane Prototype

Bicycle Safety … The LightLane Prototype

It is such a great idea!

The LightLane is a bicycle safety concept.

Using lasers the LightLane projects a virtual bike lane down onto the road – around the cyclist.

This ensures that motorists can clearly identify a space boundary – which they need to keep their vehicle clear of.

A Guide to Camping at the Tour de France

A Guide to Camping at the Tour de France
This year the 101st Tour de France will kick off in Leeds on Saturday 5th July, offering cyclists and spectators from all over the country the chance to explore the UK’s oft-overlooked northern Dales.

In Yorkshire, preparations are full steam ahead. To show off exactly what’s on offer up north, the counties are exhibiting landscape aerial artworks with giant images carved into the hillsides, using only the grinding power of cyclist’s wheels. Street parties, celebrations and concerts are also lined up to welcome the great race to the north, and local businesses are already starting to see the economic benefits of hosting an international sporting event.
