That is brilliant!

Interesting. Might be better if the walking side was the glowing one. The cycles should have lights, the walkers not necessarily.

Seems like quite a decent idea. I read about it the other day on Roadcc.

Or the walkers side was in yellow....'Follow the yellow brick road' type of thing.

Saw this pic recently. A cycle path near me, in Northampton, has illuminated blue cats eyes, but nothing as radical as this idea

This glow in the dark bicycle path can be found near Lidzbark Warminski in the north of Poland. It's made from a synthetic material that is charged by the sun, and it can hold up to ten hours of light. The impressive strip is powered entirely by the sun. It's still in the testing phases.

Also +1 point for passing the tree instead of setting it up in the middle

@jefmcg put that up the other day can't find the topic now ?

I had a quick check around but didn't see that it'd been posted.

That would be great. Could turn of the Every Ready and save on batteries

Different part of the forum. Knew I'd seen it somewhere. Cool idea imo

Great way to ruin your night vision.

With all that light pollution - and in the OP's pic as well, it's a wonder it's thought necessary! Call me old fashioned but what's wrong with just some decent lights, a bit of proper dark and chance to enjoy what few stars that are still visible with all that $hite going on?!

Yeah, what do the Dutch know about cycling?
