Reflective Vinyl Bike For Dark Night Riders

Thursday, December 18, 2008 11:00AM - By Alex Ion

Modding your bike for style or function has been a pastime we celebrated since we added coke cans to our tires at age 4.  Cyclist Mike Mandiberg has taken this a step in a new direction with reflective vinyl taping that shines bright during your night rides. Dubbed, Scotchlite 680, this vinyl taping is produced by Beacon Graphics in New Jersey and has some rather special powers… During the day it disappears and blends in with your bike’s frame, but as soon as the night lights hit it on the highway, it glows to life in a dazzling fashion. Apart from being ultra-groovy, it makes it safer for you to pedal at night. Would you wrap yours in something like that? [via Core77 & Images via RedProject]
