Solar-Powered, Glow in the Dark Bicycle Path Opens in the Netherlandshttp://twistedsifter.com/2014/1...h-eindhoven-netherlands/ The world’s first solar-powered, glow in the dark bicycle path opened today in the Netherlands city of Eindhoven. The Van Gogh-Roosegaarde cycle path was designed by Daan Roosegaarde and constructed by Heijmans. The glow in the dark bike forms part of the Van Gogh cycle route in Brabant.  Photograph by STUDIO ROOSEGAARDEThe path is illuminated by thousands of twinkling stones and was inspired by Van Gogh’s world-famous painting, Starry Night. The opening of the cycle path marks the start of the Van Gogh 2015 international theme year. In 2015, the 125th anniversary of the death of Vincent van Gogh (Zundert, 30 March 1853 – Auvers-sur-Oise, 29 July 1890) will be commemorated with a comprehensive cultural programme on the theme: 125 years of inspiration.  Photograph by STUDIO ROOSEGAARDEThe cycle path forms part of the Van Gogh cycle route that connects the Vincent van Gogh heritage locations in Brabant, Vincent’s homeland. The Opwettense and Colse watermills featured in his paintings will now be connected via the new cycle path; bridging the gap between contemporary design, innovation, cultural heritage and tourism in Brabant.

How cool would it be to ride your bicycle on a mild trip on that path haha "A troop of elves smashes down your front door and rotates and balances the wheels on the after death vehicle, present you with the bill and then depart. And it's completely paradigm shattering. I mean, ya know, union with the white light you could handle. An invasion of your apartment by jeweled self dribbling basketballs from hyperspace that are speaking in demonic Greek is NOT something that you anticipated and could handle!' -T.M.

Soo.. What kind of stones are these things? And even more important: is it possible to get them somewhere? Are they affordable?

Huh.. I just left portland. Road the rails all the way to Austin, which is a similar town. Very bike friendly and almost as beautiful. I can definitely imagine portland being the first US city to adopt an idea like this.
Agreed. Would love to bike the netherlands.. with or without lsd.
Nicita I've no idea. could be something embedded in a plastic overlay.
& Pau, good question. Apparently the city of Eindhoven is, on the whole, just 56 ft over sea level.
