Glow in the Dark Bikes, Cheaper Alternative

Glow in the dark bicycles are really helpful if you drive on the road at night. Motorists will have easier time to see you in the dark. In my previous post, I mentioned about Mission Bicycle Company's Lumen Glow in the Dark bike, yes their bikes are stunning, beautiful, and work of art but most of us can't afford $799 for a bike. Luckily, I found a cheaper alternative, Pure Fix Cycles Glow in the Dark which offer glow in the dark bikes for half the price of Lumen. On their website, the price is $399.00 but you can find discounted price on Amazon for just $340 with FREE Shipping.

Pure Fix Cycles Glow in the Dark bikes are fully GLOW-in-the-dark fixed gear bike. The paint that they used is solar-activated, it glows in the dark. You will need to expose your bike from the sun for an hour and it'll glow for more than an hour at night.

When you purchase the bike it comes standard with every components needed to ride a bike right out of the box like grips, front brake and pedals. However, at this time they don't offer bike customization but you can buy additional parts from them if you want to customize it. It's also delivered to you 90% assembled, so all you need to do is attach the pedals, front wheel, seat, handlebars, and brake and you're ready to go.

The bike weigh between 21 and 25 pounds, depending on the size of the bike you ordered.

Our standard fixies are made of steel and weigh between 21 and 25 pounds, depending on size.

I will definitely consider glow in the dark bike to replace my current one, since I was almost hit by a dumb driver last month.

Glow in the dark Bikes

Riding your bicycle in the dark is very dangerous, a vehicle may fail to notice you and hit you while on the road that can result to devastating injuries or even death. This is why a San Francisco-based studio Mission Bicycle Company has designed a bicycle which lights up in the dark. This could be the new trend in road cycling.

Lumen which is a patented design that has reflective particles embedded in its steel frame. When there is light, the color is iridescent grey. At dark, the bike frame reflects light, that gives the cyclist extra visibility to city traffic since it is visible from over 300 meters away.

You don't need any batteries and you don't have to turn it on or off. The makers inspiration for designing the glowing bike is from reflective street signs. They collaborated with Halo Coatings to come up with a state-of-the-art technology that allows reflective particles to be applied on 3D structures.

Mission Bicycle guarantees that the Lumen bicycle will glow for 50 years. Shipping is expected to begin this July.
