@TheSonOfKrypton: and with the BMW vaGINA Concept(oh it's real, look it up) you would have the ultimate fornicating machines.
Can anyone imgine going over speed bumps with this?
Unfortunatelly they killed it when they stated " a lot of carbon" to get rid of brackets.
Carbon fiber = stratospheric price out of the realm of the masses and closer to the realm of Ferrari Enzo ownership. (like out of the realm of 99.9999% of the population)
@aec007: That's a gross overstatement. Especially because it's not the whole body that's CF, just certain parts. Not to mention this isn't even close to being in production.
@xcharliemx: It's supposed to mean that this may not be the website for you. I'm not usually one to jump into lovefests like this one, but really... you have a Google window on your browser. USE IT.
Need to be seen? Get one of these for 600 lumens of goodness: [www.cygolite.com]
"Counterweighted pedals"? drop the extra weight and use eggbeaters so each side of the pedal can be used: [www.crankbrothers.com]
Poppycock! If the bumbling slack-jawed jackenape behind the tiller of the autocar can't depress the deceleratrix upon sight of mere bi-cycle reflectors, what good will illuminated tubing do? Balderdash.
Because then car drivers would not be able to use the excuse..."hmmm, I didn't see it. It just came out of nowhere!"
OK...maybe they still could still use that excuse during the day.
I think just about any of us could make a bike that looks similar to this.
You will need:
1. Light tape, (google it)
2. 8AA batteries (12v)
3. wires/solder
4. Bike
stick the tape to the bike frame along each side, wire/solder up the connections between the tapes, find a place and holder for the batteries, and thats it!
Hobomodo Lightcycle!
@Zero77: Yeah that's awesome except that stuff is like $20 a foot! The real hobomodo is what I did to my last bike, cover it in reflective vinyl (the same concept as road signs) I got for free from the sign shop I worked at
@Zero77: You get better results if you Google "EL Tape" instead of "Light Tape" which is a trademark. Some folks selling EL Tape and EL Wire kits for computers with 5 ft length for about $10.
@Zoolook: And San Francisco, where many a goofball rides down the steeper streets with fixed sprockets. I wanted to see a spill, but the patron saint of Hipster Fools was out in full force that day.

I guess I'll have to make do with plonking quarters into the Marvel vs. Capcom and Ms. Pac-Man machines at my laundromat.

That website is much better than - [justfuckinggoogleit.com]
However, I will never (again) click on a "Let me Google that for you" link. (Not after [lmgtfy.com] SFW)

@PMD: I completely agree:, but that being said, IIRC, Dynamo drove around in a modified go-kart.
