Monkeylectric bicycle wheel lighting
I have wanted to make this video for a few months now, but finally got around to getting all the pieces together:

what i want to see is the point of view of a driver in a car, both coming up from behind and oncomming cars. have other cyclist hold the camera, have someone in car do the same. have a pedrestion sitting on the pourch mid day and night time with a camera.
the other day i saw someone with a red downlow glow thing, i was coming up the bike and i could bearly tell anything from 50 feet away. its noticeable that something is there at 30 feet, but its like yeah so so what. thats what i worry about with monkeyelectric, that its good at say 50 feet away day/night, but so what your in someone's headlights and easly identifyable and already seen, not that car can make to many adjustments 50 feet away when they drive at 25, or 50mph. i'm not spend all that money a downlow glow with what i've seen of it.

It is meant for side visibility, so looking at it from the side is all that matters to me. Trust me, it is bright !

I was more into the headlight and wanted to see how well it worked but your vid needs super ****zy music! Stay in first gear but go as fast as you can, he he he.

O, I saw a tandem going down the river walk with Obama heads in each wheel, done with lights.
