LED Bike Spoke Messages

Reading time 1 minute

This is nearly too geeky, even for us: Hokey Spokes make up a set of LED blades that attach to your bicycle’s spokes and spell out words and poor images while you ride about town, keenly aware of precicely how idiotic they make you look. The perfect compliment for your favorite pair of bicycle shorts, the blades communicate with each other using infrared and are actually programmed with your Palm, so you can make changes while on the run. I wouldn’t be surprised if an entrepreneuring bike courier in New York started selling his spoke space for ads, really. Actually, for only $30-$40, the images they can create look pretty damn cool. On a computer screen. And not in “real life”.
