  • Bicycle illumination system
    Patent number: 5823653
    Abstract: A bicycle illumination system to accentuate and make visible during periods of low light the details and contours of a bicycle frame. The system comprises a plurality of neon light tubes affixed to various members of the bicycle frame so that the outline of the frame is clearly delineated during low light periods and hence visible to proximal motorists. The system further contemplates a phosphorescent coating applied to the bicycle frame to assist the neon light tubes in accentuating the bicycle frame.
