The Big Idea

Folly by definition is a foolish action or idea, the word absurdity and phrase "lack of sense" seem to continually arise. But what would life be like without these follies? Why not embrace these ideas and get a little nutty! This is my journal for those adventures, and along the way I hope to meet new people, take the path less traveled, have some fun, and spread the story of this sustainable journey we call life! Here you’ll find short anecdotes about my life, links to enlightenment, and opinions on how to have fun! I would love to hear about your folly, so feel free to e-mail me, I might just post them, and thanks for visiting!

Don't Have Bike Lanes, Just Take One With You!


Check out this new idea from Altitude called the LightLane.

This bike light uses lasers to project a virtual bike lane behind a rider, hoping cars and other crazy night traffic will give bikers a wider berth. As more and more people take to the bikes, the incident rate of car to bike accidents is bound to increase. LightLane will hopefully give those on two wheels one more tool in their quiver to attempt to stay off the windshields of night drivers. Altitude thinks they will price the LightLane around 50 bucks, which may well be worth it considering the alternative.

To those of you who only ride at night on the way home from the local watering hole, LightLane will not guide you on your journey home or help you keep an even keel, don't think 50 bucks solves all your problems, but it may keep those pesky cars off you butt!!

Check out the link to the Wired.com article talking about LightLane by clicking on the title to this post. Thanks.
