From CubicleBot… If you commute on a bicycle, especially at night, then proper safety equipment is a must. This retroreflector tie, designed by Jasna Sokolovic and Noel O’Connell, is made with reflective fabrics, so you will be “highly visible” to oncoming cars. However, since you’re supposed to ride with traffic, the only cars that will see this thing will be on the other side of the road. However, I guess you could always swing it around and wear it on your back.

Now that we’ve seen Chewbacca as a hair style, a circus performer, and a floating armless piece of plastic, it’s only natural that the next step would be to see him on a bike. I’m sure that in the future there’ll be “Chewie takes a dump: the t-shirt”, followed by “Chewie has a one night stand” and maybe even play by play of Chewie fighting a Kangaroo with a football and a chocolate Easter bunny. Too far fetched? We’ll see…

There’s something about riding a bike that just makes you want to lay down a fierce carpet bombing to mark your path. It could be the open air, the tight biker shorts, or the satisfaction of knowing that you’ll be long gone by the time the next pedestrian or rider gets engulfed by your funk.
