What's next?
 

Or?
 

I saw a guy cycling around here who looked like he came straight out of Tron - WAY more lit up than these examples.

Think I might have seen that illuminated wheel on Shark Tank some time back?

Great idea Sharke, anything to make cyclists more visible is welcome.

I like the idea. At least someone is thinking about making bicyclist safer.

As a regular urban cyclist, I don't know if it's a good idea. 
1.  An oblivious driver is probably looking at head-height or above, likely not at the road itself.
2.  If they do see a wobbly green light, it's one more thing to distract them.
 
I follow the road rules very carefully, so I can be "holier than thou" to all the idiots on the road.  And from what i've seen cyclists, drivers, and pedestrians are usually at fault in equal percentages.  
 
The biases from both drivers and cyclists are incredibly one-sided.  I nearly died in a cycling accident about 4 years ago - every single person asked me what the car was doing wrong.  In all honesty there wasn't one, it was just me and a streetcar track.

Portland keeps trying to invent idiocies to help the cyclists downtown and you can even rent a bike cheap to get around and not drive ... but in the end ... downtown Portland is still a mess, despite all the work and help by Craig and Kenny!

Portland's nude bicycle race?

THAT must be why I have so much trouble with Border Patrol letting me into the States!

Portland is too much into the punk dress thing to consider nekkid anything.
