    Been there, done that... ;^)

    If you were at the Yellowmundee 12hr mtb race, you may well have seen me!
    Frame neon, fork "neons" (actually electroluminescent sheet),
    electroluminescent wire on my helmet and spiralling inside my wheel, a
    number of red flashers, and a blue Knightrider light from Jaycar on my
    helmet.

    There are some pix at

    (phew) but they don't do it justice, especially as the copyright protection
    text blocks out most of it, and it works better in full darkness.

    Since then, I've added a spokey thing with LEDs that flash, bought 4 more EL
    wires, and am looking at TireFires, HokeySpokes, and those things that
    write words in the wheel (in flashing LEDs) - m-a-a-a-a-a-te.

    Mind you, I don't always have them fitted, but it is fun.

    I've only been pulled up by the cops once - so I've changed the Knightrider
    flasher to just move, rather than flash - blue and red flashers are
    restricted to emergency services. The cops actually loved it all, and
    wondered where I got it from. Maybe we'll see a new look highway patrol
    soon?

    still thinking about adding a subwoofer for next year - I got sick of saying
    doof, doof, doof...

    Perhaps they will fit them to their bicycle patrols.
    Nearly collected one of those camped on a median strip one night.

    I've had blue and red flashing lights on my bike and the cops have never
    hassled me. I live in a country town in Western Australia.
