Puma’s New Bike Glows Green (or Golden Orange) At Night

Why someone hasn’t thought of this before is beyond me. Here at The Caffeinated Cyclist, we take our biking seriously — and it encourage it whenever possible. Of course, we’re also aware that biking in cities and towns can be a bit of a nightmare during the darker hours. That’s why I'm completely jazzed about this new ‘glowing’ bike from Puma. It’s almost as cool as the glow-in-the-dark star stickers you had as a kid all over your ceiling.

Here are the details:
Available in two colourways, one butter milk come green and the other a deep orange which turns a golden orange tone these bikes feature a paint which absorbs the sunrays during the day so when the sun goes down it produces a magnificent glowing effect.

The bike also comes with “twin-disc breaks, off road tires, head and back lights, and an integrated wire lock system. Apparently this means if the bike is stolen and rode without the wire, the whole thing will auto-destruct. I have no idea what that means, but if there are bright explosions and sparks involved, I’m all about it.
