Inevitable, But Still Awesome: An Affordable Glow-in-the-Dark Bike Frame

The safety benefit may be debatable, but who cares?

Finally, something to ride in that wacky French skate park that glows in the dark. The Kilo Glow Series of bicycle frames, made by the Burbank, California-based Pure Fix Cycles, radiates a swamp-gas green aura that lights up the night better than a pile of radium clock dials (although without that irksome cancer part).

How awesome is this frame? Let's turn to Kilo's own ad copy for a taste: The Glow Series took "months of experimentation" to perfect and will "take your night riding to a whole new level.... Whether youÛªre a night owl, a raver, or just want to trip out your friends, this is the bike for you." The price to own a bike that can double as a comforting bedroom night light? That would be $399, although if you make it $404 they'll throw in a pair of glowing grips.
