The paint I put next to the lens on my flashlights will stay visible in the dark all night Not very bright as time passes. When one of my watches is charged up all day in the sun it will go all night. There are a few different kinds of glow in the dark paint. No mater what I do one of my watches will not go 6 hours. They all stop glowing after about 10 years. My 20 year old Seiko is 100% gone, nothing, no glow.

Haven't seen a lot of aerojokes on SSFG lately. I guess they've all been bought up by ad agencies.

Next time I paint my bike I want the frame to be glow in the dark. Some paints claim 6 hours of glow depending on the color

I used to watch people rear brake skid at critical mass on their sw8 fixayz and I just wasn't sure what to think.

I don't understand this VAG light. Why would one want a light that's not the right colour and is blocked from most angles by the riders body?

p.s.: Glow-bike is rad. Want.

p.p.s.: VAG? Really? DONG was taken?

Would it be possible to have some kind of illuminating system in the inner rake of the fork? A red glowing aerospoke would be pretty cool.

I used to wrap a knog around each hub and set it to strobe. Mad spinny flashing rims especially since it was with my white msw wheelset.

I do this as well, but set them to steady, with a clear one in the front and a red one in the back. I do it in the hope that a moving, circular light will clearly show to drivers what I am and improve side visibility.

I want some of those fancy programmable spoke lights. Soo dorky but soo awesome and safe at the same time.

These:

DealExtreme also has some pretty trippy options I've been temped by:
