My gap from #week 1 was:
I would like to design a solution to make me feel more protected on my bike in traffic.

        more general
Why

• Why do people drive
  
• Why do cars dominate streets
  
• Why are cyclists vulnerable
• Why are cyclists not save in traffic
  
• Why do I want to feel more protected
  

In what way might I ...

• reduce bike accidents in traffic
• improve safety for bikers
• increase awareness of cyclists on the streets
• protect bikers from cars
• *improve conspicuity/visibility of bikers
• design protective apparel
• put lights/reflectors on apparel
