I doubt that the frame glows exactly like it does in this picture, but I still like the idea.

Anon, No one said the bike was new, just the glow-in-the-dark finish. As I recall, the Puma UM bike came out around 2005. In fact, I mentioned it in a post about 2 years ago.

…and yeah, bgw, the lock doesn’t look like it provides the highest level of security, but I think it is still a pretty good idea. As fixedgear noted on the Cyclelicious post, “The Slingshot-esque ‘downtube’ cable is put to better use” in this application.

…but then again, i like to leave a light on…

…whoa, sorry…

…i agree w/ jimmy tf that the lock system is clever as it stands…it obviously needs to be supplemented for any real safety…

I need to work on my reading comprehension.

Only reflective or led-lit stuff seems to really show up, especially any place that isn’t actually pitch black.

Love the integrated cable lock/disable system.
