On NPR today there was an article on an Italian company called Luminex. They make clothing that
lights up. I don't know anything about the company other than the NPR report but as a cyclist who
often rides home at night it got my interest (I fell for the Illuminite propoganda a few years ago
so I guess I am a sucker).

Their web site is luminex.itindex eng.htmlOpen ↗. Its not real well organized but I did
find their link to intenational representatives. They had a place in New York for their USA rep.

BTW, the link to the NPR broadcast is

I asked the company if they knew of any bicycling clothing being made, and got a nice reply.

The good news: lycra fabric is available, so you could make your own. More good news: 7 colors
available, white, blue, silver, gold, red, green, cream & black More good news: you can change the
color every 18 inches.

The bad news: it's $280 a yard, minimum 50 yards. (plus $24 per battery)

So, I'll be staying with my Nathan reflective vest for a while.
