I had one of those ideas that some people are so fond of having. I’m not saying it was a fully fledged idea but the nucleus of a notion. You know the way people give birth to little people? What if we played the so-called music of Bon Jovi to a pregnant person and we monitored the behavior of the little person inside? We could do some of that learning stuff that the students love so much. If the baby inside the belly dances to Bon Jovi, then we immediately remedy the situation by playing Tom Waits. This way, we can stop Bon Jovi fans from being born, society immediately improves and entrepreneurs like this can get the economy back on track:
That would backfire here in New York City. Cyclists are so annoying on our streets that this would be an open invitation to motorists to run them over.
It’s no different over here, cyclists aren’t the most loved of the species at all, at all.
So, do you think they make a laser for dog walkers that shows dogs pooping so cars can see them? Or how about a light where prostitutes hang out so cars can see them on the dark streets? The applications for this might be endless.
Ah this is the type of thinking that’s gonna save our world!
Instead of a lighted bike lane below the biker, the laser show create an animated biker symbol in the air above the biker — this would be more attention-getting. Of course, an even better way to get car driver’s attention at night would be a light bar that looks like the front of a semi tractor!
While I can see the practicalities of your ideas, the tractor especially is more of an invitation to attack the cyclist than anything else!
