That is amazingly cool! Not that I'd buy it, but, still, gotta like it. Many possibilities. Not sure if it'd make riding on the road safer or more dangerous...might depend on your display...!

Hey, it works and is water-resistant enough for stream crossings...

Okay, so the $60 dollar version doesn't do the stuff in the vid (that's 2 grand) but slide-shows 9 different graphic images in a variety of colors. I can turn off different slides, change their colors and the speed of the slide show...presuming I can figure out the 50-word "manual". It's bright enough to see way before dark. It also makes the wheel noticably imbalanced, even on a heavy-ass cruiser with heavy tires. It's not wobbly, but I can feel the surge from the eccentric weight of 4 AA batteries.
