I just happened to run across this Wired article about a bike with a really interesting reflective paint. It looks like a normal, metallic paint by day, but at night, the entire frame and even the rims are lit up quite dramatically by any oncoming light source.



Cool -- I want my bike to stand out like that!

But -- look at the colors and light conditions in those photos. Urban environment, lots of street lights and whatnot. Imagine that dude wearing a hi-vis yellow jacket... Then we would REALLY be talking visible...
