I doubt this will ever see the market, but it's a cool idea:

That is so rad.

Bike lane installation cost of $5K - $50K per mile? Shoo, I'll do it for 1/3 of that and a 6 pack. :)

Actually a method cheaper than lasers exists right now. There is a type of paint that is sometimes used to paint lanes and pavement with that is impregnated with a reflective type mateiral similar to Scotch-lite.
It wouldnt work during the day of course, but it would help some.

This is a cool idea, politically. But I think that rider would be just as visible with some blinky lights.

This idea rocks! But at the same time, a rider can easily say whist riding in the middle of the road for no reason, "but, officer, I was riding in the bike lane..."
