    I would love to buy one.

    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.

    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!

    Now get to it! I expect to see pics on gizmodo!

    @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.

    Because it takes effort to install lights and glowy things, and laws that require bicycle lights are often not enforced, unlike they are for cars.

    Good question Mark. It shouldn't be that tough to use a low voltage powered light, and just build a generator/capacitor into the bike somehow.
