Volvo's Reflective Bike Paint Helps Cars Spot You At Night

Want to feel nervous? Try riding a bike at night alongside a busy road. Even if you're festooned in lights and reflectors, there's a real chance that a less-than-attentive driver will smack into you. Volvo may have a better way to keep cars at a distance, however.

Its new LifePaint spray is invisible during the day, but reflects car headlights in the evening. You can coat your bike, your clothing or most anything else and provide a heads-up to motorists, who'll see bright white as they get close.

Just like the wheel this is something that doesn't need reinventing. Very clever, but it doesn't do anything scotchlite doesn't

This is a "shut up and take my money" invention.
To Gareth: it actually does something scotchlite doesn't:
It is nearly invisible at daytime...very brilliant...

Scotchlite isnt invisible during the day. This looks cool.
