[QUOTE]The luminous blue cycling strip, which can be found near Lidzbark Warminski in the north of Poland, was created by TPA Instytut Badań Technicznych Sp. z o.o. It’s made from a synthetic material that can give out light for up to ten hours at a time once charged by the sun throughout the day. Although the concept was inspired by Studio Roosegaarde’s Starry Night bike lane in the Netherlands, the technology is quite different as the Dutch version uses LEDs whereas this one is entirely dependent upon solar power. It’s still in the testing phase at the moment, but let’s hope that this bright idea will be implemented in other countries in the very near future.

Pretty useful unlike SOLAR FREAKING ROADWAYS.

Wow, that looks really cool!

[big woop]

I wonder if it emits any light at all after a cloudy day.

Chemiluminescence is a wonderful thing.

I want this here in Danzig

Gdańsk....

[troots]

Man, that's amazing, hope we get some in Schlesien - I love biking, and I'd love to safely bike at nights

Danzig, unless you're actually speaking polish

at least that's how a lot of people from Danzig refer to Danzig when they're not speaking Polish, both versions are technically correct however

i prefer bioluminescence as a wonderful thing because holy shit creatures give light

but yeah chemiluminescence is neat too

We have a "road of the future" here, where they are constantly testing out new things. One of the things they tested out was fluorescent paint. It was really bright and awesome in the beginning, but it got very dim quickly as a results of it being exposed to weather, traffic and exhaust gases. I don't think it's a great idea, unless you're prepared to recoat everything every few months or so.

Im like 99 % sure that danzig is a german name

So it would be like calling oświęcim auschwitz or łódź liechtmanstadt

But then again gdansk was german at quite a few points in history so mabe thay got to set the international name before us

It is indeed, but this is phosphorescence at work here, not chemiluminescence.

yeah Danzig is its german name, people use it for some reason though

i suppose because it skips the ń

It appears you are correct; thank you.
