We’ve been tempted to organize a guerilla bike lane striping movement. While the city engineer’s office treats it like it’s virtually impossible to get this done, what if each of us just went out in front of our house and business and laid down a line for bikes?

But we’ve just seen something that may be useful before we stripe Memphis. It’s a BYOL (bring your own lane) device that projects a bike lane behind you at night. You’re still on your own during the day until the thinking of the city engineer’s office gets into this century.
