We showed the Puma by Biomega a few years ago; it is an interesting folding bike with a tension cable instead of a tube, that you can disconnect so that nobody can steal your bike and ride it away.

Now they have introduced a glow-in-the-dark version- the frame's glowing paint sucks up sunlight during the day and lets it loose after the sun sets. We hope that it is not made with encapsulated tritium like the last glowing bike we saw. ::Device

bikes for bike sharing programs should really be designed specifically to each city and for sharing in general. This is a nice bike, but most ppl who would use a sharing program, esp in a city like chicago, might opt for comfort bikes or a beach cruiser deal

Studies show that drunk drivers veer toward illuminated objects, transfixed like a deer in the headlights.
