  1. Was browsing on ebay and came up with glowing shoelaces... which turn
    out to be a little battery pack and some clear solid plastic tube.

    You hook the tube to the pack, turn it on, and you get red glowing
    plastic tube! Solid, slow flash, fast flash. One set is now on the
    new Arkel pannier, the other will probably go on my helmet.

    Here's another similar thing for the same money more or less
    http://www.elec2go.com.au/category8_1.htm

    Although it looks like the EL wire will bend more easily, and you can
    get it suitable to sew into clothing.

    EL wire is fun, and used to be readily available at Jaycar (I haven't
    bought any for a while, so I'm not sure if it still is). You can even
    join lengths to make longer lengths, but you'll probably need to fiddle
    with the voltage input (or something), as extended EL is noticeably
    dimmer when powered from the same source.
