   The Bike Shield app never caught on because of spotty data in scenic areas.    
   Also some cyclists don't like posting their GPS.   
      
   A transponder is the same thing as a bike light except it's at radio   
   frequencies, works around curves day or night, and motor vehicles tune in to   
   the frequency posted on the "Share the Road; Get Cyclist Alerts At AM 1090"   
   sign.   
      
   It would require a dedicated receiver but it would be nice to give the   
   motorist a clue as to the distance to the cyclist around the curve, hidden   
   behind trees, so 3 different frequencies at 3 different power levels could   
   more or less indicate 3 different    
   ranges, 40 - 50 m, 25-35m and 5-20 m.   
      
   The GA needs an idea of the cost on a production run basis.
