   I saw this over on Engadget. Nice idea, but would have a lot of flaws to be worked out.

   Let me just say this about that.  This morning, as usual, I passed a cyclist with a little dinky red light on his stern and a brilliant strobe displayed to the front.

    

   This is bassackwards.  Put the bright light to the back.  Not rocket science.  In fact, put two or three lights to the back.  That’s where your troubles come from.

    

   To me this is so obvious I can’t really think of much more to say about it.  As a driver, I find it hard to see cyclists at dusk or dawn because so few of them have a visible light to the back.  And I’m the guy who isn’t talking on the phone or applying makeup or eating breakfast.  I’m actually looking and anticipating.  Put the bright light to the back.

   Oh I’m sure. They don’t even have a prototype yet.
