Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Thats cool but Im not sure if want that all over the bike.

Maybe on the shoes because moving objects will catch the attention better then a stationary one. (Relative to the bike frame vs the feet)

Seems pretty nifty though. Who is going to be the first to spray down their car with it

How does it look in sunlight? Do the specs show up at any angles?

I say that's pretty excellent. You don't even need to soak the shirt like that to get a good effect. I need to find some of that stuff and try it out!

You know that's how sunscreen works, right? And sunscreen works a lot better, btw. Just slather your bike in sunscreen if you think this is a good idea (it's not...).

Cool. I think I will spray the stuff on my custom color, ceramic-coated ti frame so I can, you know, ruin its looks.

Does it cause cancer or anything sprayed on bare skin? It might be interesting for people who partake in world naked bike day or whatever it is called.
