More bike frame "ground effect" lighting.

Another interesting vanity lighting system for bicycles. This fits my riding better than the last one I mentioned. Though, I still think I'll stick with the flashing christmas lights for this year.

Hmmm. But I am far mor concerned by the cars behind me: the ones I cannot see. This doesn't make me more visible to them.

Yeah, this system does nothing for rear or front visibility, which are more important, though it is interesting to note that most fatalities and hospitalizations from bike/car collisions don't arise from the bicycle being struck from behind, but much more often turned in front of, turned through, or driven into from a side street/driveway.

These are just neat, cool things to have some fun in my opinion. (and for the record, I have christmas lights on the bike again this year, talk about creating a pool of light.)
