Now this is cool. This kickstart project, revolights, embeds an Akira-style lighting system into the wheels of your bicycle, making you feel like some kind of futuristic bike hero.

But this invention does more than make you look awesome:

> On the road, bike lights contribute to rider safety in two ways:   
>  
> 1) **lighting –** allows riders to safely navigate at night by illuminating their forward path.  
>  
> 2) **sighting** – increases the rider’s front, back, and side visibility which signals their presence (i.e. i am a bike) and location to those sharing the road.  
>  
> Currently no product on the market provides both **lighting** and **sighting** at a functionally high level. Our solution, Revolights, is a **double threat**. It represents the first fully functional lighting and sighting solution; more specifically, the first solution based on a spoke/rim/hub mounted design.

You can pre-order the lights for yourself and help support their production by pledging $200 or more [over at Kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/revolights/revolights-join-the-revolution?ref=discover%5Frec).
