Cyglo Tyre , a UK caller establish by James Tristram , embeds LEDs directly into the tyre tread ( as opposed to , say , the rung ) where the visible light are powered by the orbitual motion of the tire itself . Tristam see his clean - up steering wheel as an “ unprecedented safety measure . ” I see them as the most viable sluttish bike accessory for my after - hour TRON cosplay .
The Cyglos , formerly Night Bright Tyres , are yet to be manufactured , though the company was awarded the patent for their design in February and secured backing in April . Hopefully that intend I ’ll be part - playing ( safely ) in the close future . [ Cyglo TyresviaWired ]
