It takes a certain kind of person to climb on that thing. I am not that kind of person.

This is cool. The Revolights system consists of four rings of LEDs, 2 white & 2 red, weather resistant, powered by USB-rechargeable lithium ion batteries,
bracket-mounted to the front and rear hub. A built-in accelerometer tracks speed and flashes the red lights as you slow down, bicycle brake light, $200.

My questions are how long does a battery charge last, and how long do the batteries themselves last. The aggravation and expense could be a deal breaker.
But a virtual brake light, now that's cool.. till the cop says, you didn't even try to stop for that light. :haha:

$200?!?!??

My last bike only cost $150.

But for the people riding bikes they paid two grand or more for, it's cheap insurance. Plus after dark, people don't know you're riding an expensive bike. This will give them a hint you're not hoi polloi.

For $2000(:eyebrow:), I'll buy a car and drive by the bicyclist.:yesnod:

Chicago was loaded with bike shops, back in the day.

Wonder how old that is? The bike on the right looks fairly modern, until you see it has fenders and no front derailleur. Must be a 3 speed. 1950s?

If the NCU on the sign is the National Cyclist's Union, that lasted from 1883 till about 1955, but that's a British group.

Well I'll be damned, when I found that picture it said it was Chicago... it ain't.
It's in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, UK, which makes sense for the NCU and the CTC is a British cycling charity. But still no date.

As usual, the devil is in the details...

:D

Good find.

MY cousin bought her last bike for over $8000. I know I know.

What does it do?

... anything it wants to do... at any time

For starters Grav - It weighs like 2 oz. Its insane.

Does she ride for fitness? If she's a racer, I can understand light. Most people ride for fitness, which makes a light bike sort of ironical. A heavier bike would make one fitter, quicker.
