String-Light Cycles

Shelby Tanner's Illuminated Bicycle is Perfect for Night Riding

Strung and wound with fairy lights, Shelby Tanner’s illuminated bicycle will get you noticed by drivers on your after dark excursions. As far as I’m aware, this is the only bulb-bound bike of its kind, but with plenty of views of it over Tumblr and Flickr, perhaps its maker will consider creating more.

The current version of Shelby Tanner’s illuminated bicycle works with the help of an external power source, requiring an extension cord to be hooked up to the two-wheeler. Photoshopped out in this picture, it looks like she could cycle for miles on this brilliant light-emitting bike.
