<p>Hey Tim, The glass beads turn the base color a shade or two lighter. But in the the direct sun it shimmers, a little pearlescent.</p>
<p>The two test bikes at the shop are reflective if anyone wants to check them out.</p>
<p>The only downside to it is that the rider can't perceive it while sitting on the bike, so I need to arrange some test at night with cars and good cameras.</p>

<p>Reflective or glow in the dark is good. Anything to increase your visibility.</p>

<p>I was thinking of wearing jogging gear while riding as it's reflective/neon.</p>

<p>The BB is too low on that invisible bike. Pedal-strike can be dangerous and if you crashed and fell off of that bike you would never be able to find it again in traffic before it got run over -unless it was dark, of course, because it would be glowing.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It would be a hard bike to steal though. Just hang it on a fence high enough that nobody would bump into it and nobody would even know it was there -until dark of course, when it began to glow...</p>
