New ideas for bike saftey

From Treehugger.com, check out these new ideas for bike safety!

Some cities are slow getting around to approving bike lanes; others don’t bother. Here is a way to carry your bike lane with you wherever you go: project it onto the road with fricking lasers.

The SPEED-VEST is a bicycle safety device and advocacy tool which displays the wearer’s current speed on their back in easy-to-read lighted numerals. It improves rider conspicuity while legitimizing bicycle speeds on the roadway. Originally conceived by Brady Clark and engineered by Mykle Hansen, it just won the Hub Bike Shop’s Bike Gadget Contest in Minneapolis, MN.

The system consists of a wheel speed sensor, a wearable numeric display and a small computer that does the thinking. The computer is an Arduino: an open-source embedded computing platform powered by an Amtel microcontroller. It runs for 6 hours on a 9 volt battery.

University of Iowa Race Weekend

Successful weekend as Team Iowa swept the Men’s A/B races Saturday and Sunday. The Men’s A race saw an impressive attack by Alex Libin (Iowa) and Will Greenwood (Northern Iowa). The breakaway stuck as Libin’s pace was unmatched and the rest of Team Iowa controlled the peloton, confirming the win for Libin.

Iowa took first place in the TTT event later in the afternoon
On Sunday, the new criterium  course faired well for Team Iowa again.  30+mph winds on a .5 loop with a steep climb and decent each lap put two Iowa riders in the breakaway, this time it was A.J. Turner and Kevin Tempel.  A.J. Turner (Iowa) took the victory. In the women’s A/B, Gracia Folkeringa (Minnesota) took her second consecutive win of the weekend.  Next weekend’s race will be in Lawrence, Kansas hosted by the University of Kansas Race Weekend.
