When I first saw EL wire, I thought that might be a good way to make a rider more visible at night. Unfortunately is has the side effect of making you look like a tron geek, too...

but anyway, here are some step-by-step instructions of stitching EL Wire onto a coat or other garment.

Step 8 shows some other designs, besides the tron look.

I'd rather look like a **** on a bike, than a **** on a hood. I do enough bad weather and night riding that it isn't worth it not to be high vis.

Just the other day I got caught in a rain storm - it was raining so hard I was having a hard time seeing cars (particularily the ever popular silver ones)... I threw my high vis Orange jacket on... yes it looked stupid, but at least they had a chance of seeing me.

 

Certainly got a certain appeal to that stuff... not my cup of tea!

If you do do it, rig up some skeleton bones... that at least would match a funky helmet.

 

Or a **** on a slab, Woot !

I have blue reflective tape on sides and rear of my bike - certainly makes a difference - raingear has reflective piping and panels as well.Rear of helmet too - small, but visible.
Can't be too careful out there, too many idiots on the road.

Thanks for the info Woo and Woot (You guys related ?) he he

 

pretty cool. Seems like it would take quite a bit of work to get a good design.
