British Laser Cycling Safety Light Hits Kickstarter

A young inventor has devised a potentially life-saving bike light which beams a laser image of a bicycle on to the road ahead to alert motorists of their presence.

University of Brighton graduate Emily Brooke, 27, hopes her invention, called Blaze, will help cut the number of cycling deaths on Britain's roads.

Her small device is battery-operated and projects a bright green image of a bicycle from a bike's handlebars by about five metres to help eliminate blind spots.
