Seems like a good idea until you think it through and realise drivers don't
generally look at the road surface and it'll be completely invisible in
mirrors. Might be useful for pedestrians crossing but other than that it
I suspect its a waste of money.


I cannot imagine that drivers would see them but they're good for
pedestrians - you see the light coming past you before the cyclist so
don't get the same shock and don't risk accidentally stepping into them.
Doesn't work in the daylight though.
