A Mesmerizing Glow-in-the-Dark Bike Path<br />
Unveiled in Poland<br />
Seeking to make bike paths safer and more accessible in the evening<br />
and night hours, urban planners in Lidzbark Warminski, Poland just<br />
unveiled a new glow-in-the-dark bike lane. The path is made from<br />
small crystal-like particles of phosphor called ‘luminophores’ that<br />
charge during sunlight hours and can glow for up to 10 hours. The<br />
lane was built by TPA Instytut Bada Technicznych Sp. z o.o who were<br />
partially inspired by Studio Roosegaarde’s stunning solar-powered<br />
bike path in the Netherlands mentioned here in 2014. Unlike the<br />
Netherland’s concept which uses solar-powered LEDs, this new path<br />
in Poland requires no external power source. The design is currently<br />
being tested to see how it withstands regular wear and tear.
