Lights in bicycle tyres!
Post: 1
Posted Sep 25, 2002 by squonker
I may have dreamt it, but i'm sure i saw on the telly a few months ago a program about inventors. One of them had designed a bicycle tyre with lights built into and around the tread. The effect was amazing. He had overcome all the obvious problems and was looking for a company to mass produce and sell his design. From memory I think he won the end of series contest.
Have you heard of him and if so has he found a backer yet ?

It's an interesting idea - how do you change the batteries? How much mass does it add to the wheel? How well does it work with slick high pressure tyres?

Oh, and please please please move to a service provider which doesn't try to push spyware at you as you hit the page, to say nothign of the popup ads. Sorry, pet hates.
