Cool material: Retroreflective vinyl
Core77 — If you liked Vanessa Marie's Night & Day Backpack for Cycling, you might want to make like Mike Mandiberg; he wrapped his bike in Retroreflective Vinyl, meaning it looks dark black but turns bright white when a headlight beam shines on it. The amazing material--Scotchlite 680, to be exact--can be ordered from New Jersey's Beacon Graphics. Bright Bike from Michael Mandiberg on Vimeo. thanks mike! (more...)

Scotchlite 680: Black reflective vinyl goes white under headlights
Boing Boing Gadgets — Bright Bike from Michael Mandiberg on Vimeo. This reflective adhesive vinyl is black under natural light, but reflects white when hit with a flash — or headlights, making it quite suitable for covering a bicycle. Mike Mandiberg did just that. The stuff's trade name is "Scotchlite 680" and is made by 3M. It's used traditionally in signage, but I think it may have just found a new popularity. [via Core77]
