Novel product - Dynamic Laser Side-Shadow (DLS) Cycling Guard

Design A compact, handlebar-mounted device that projects a horizontal laser curtain slightly above the road surface on both sides of the bike—creating dynamic “shadow lanes” that effectively show passing vehicles how much space they're (legally) required to give. Unlike traditional side- mounted lasers, this system is smart, adaptive, and safety-first, responding in real time to vehicle proximity and rider context. Key Features Real-time proximity sensing (using ultrasonic or infrared sensors) Adaptive laser projection that widens or narrows the side curtains based on traffic speed and proximity Automatic activation in low-light conditions (integrated ambient light sensor) Compact, aerodynamic, and rider-friendly mount Battery-efficient operation, possibly toggle able for legal compliance
