LED Artist Turns Cycling into a True Joyride

— February 2, 2010 — Eco
In a world where everyone is talking about bieng more eco-friendly, cycling is definitely in, and cycling with a smiling bicycle is just über-cool.

This particular bicycle, the Joyrider, was designed by London-based German LED artist Moritz Waldemeyer. It may cost £2000 to get one, but for him, it’s simply a combination of a microchip and some LED light bulbs.

Getting the two glittering happy faces requires some speed and the build-in microchip can sense how fast the wheels spin.
