# Laser-Projected Bike Paths The Light Lane Keeps Cyclists Safe By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-01-11 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-projected-bike-path-light-lane References: [dustbowl.wordpress](http://dustbowl.wordpress.com/2009/01/09/light-lane-concept-from-altitudes-alex-tee-and-evan-gant/) & [altitudeinc](http://www.altitudeinc.com) This clever 'Light Lane' design from Alex Tee and Evan Gant of Altitude Inc projects a bike path onto roadways directly from the bicycle. The [red laser boundaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laserabc-laser-show-projector) are easy to see at night, and are far cheaper than the $5,000-$50,000 per mile fee Altitude cites as the installation cost of the [dedicated bike lanes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/londons-cycleway-network) that adorn a portion of city streets. The Light Lane would be a fantastic way to [safeguard cyclists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclist-safety1) and make nighttime bicycling a more feasible mode of metropolitan transportation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Laser-projected Bike Paths:** The trend for innovation in bike safety. - **Nighttime Biking:** The increasing trend for biking during the night. - **Affordable Bike Infrastructure:** The trend for more affordable and accessible bike infrastructure. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Transportation:** There are opportunities for disruptive innovation in making bike transportation safer and more accessible. - **Infrastructure:** The laser-projected bike lanes are a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional bike lanes and could be adopted by infrastructure companies. - **Technology:** Innovations in the use of lasers and other technology can be applied to improve bike safety and infrastructure. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Omnidirectional Bike Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vis-lightpool-taillight.md) - [Tech-Enhanced Safety Bike Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rear-bike-light.md) - [Tech-Visible Bike Reflectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radian-wingman.md) - [Award-Winning High-Performance Bike Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-bike-light.md) - [Synced Bike Light Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-light-system.md) - [Illuminated Cycling Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illuminated-cycling-helmet.md) - [Space-Saving Cyclist Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rydesafe-headtube-bike-light.md) - [Nighttime Limited Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nocturne-bike.md) - [Connected Cyclist Radar Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bryton-gardia-r300l.md)
