I could do one of those-- and yellow is perfect for it.

What I like about the Antro Solo is the fact that the pedals (for helping charge the battery are on both the driver and passenger side)--- sort of like a paddle boat you can rent at a lake! and since no way any car can be completely solar(well one day) it has capability to use gasoline as well.

Speaking of YELLOW...

This is my new High Visibility motorcycle jacket. All armored, vented and waterproof.

That's cool, M.

Unfortunately, for some drivers the only way you'll be noticed is if you shout directly into their dimwitted head, "I'm HERE, D@MMIT" with a bullhorn.

I was once run off the road (while riding) in the wintertime.  Sun was out, but I was wearing a florescent orange jumpsuit.

This suit really glowed, especially in sunlight.

But, an idiot could not see me, for some reason.... and into the ditch I went (to avoid being run over).

I was too busy not actually wrecking to catch dimwit's plate number...

Have seen those in use around here. They're REALLY glowingly bright!! I put on my 'heavy duty' sunglasses while driving the other day, just to cut the bright glow from the guy in front of me with one on.

It's almost, but not quite, a metallic sort of glow, but it's a chemical, not metallic agent in the fabric. (According to Joey at the bike shop here, anyway. He's cute--a young Johnny Depp lookin' guy, so I'll listen to whatever he has to say!)

Y'all are seriously making me consider putting two-wheeled transportation on my to-do list for later in life. (No way that will ever happen while I live in the remote vicinity of my mother.)

Fuel efficiency alone, it's worth it. The fun factor...even moreso. Please make sure you've got a decent sense of balance, or it's also a pain thing...experience speaking here.

I've got some classic road rash scars, thanks to a totally warped inner ear "thing" that's transient and dangerous.

I have an excellent sense of balance, and I STILL have lots of road rash scars, most of which were gained on two wheels sans motor (never wrecked hard on a dirt bike, and gave the habit up when I was a young'un).

Actually, one of them is a road rash scab, from Friday.  Spectacular wet-pavement-on-a-downhill-corner layover, complete with several-fathom slide, but relatively little skin loss (cell phone in a side shorts pocket took the brunt of the force) limited to elbow.  The other damage was minor bruising and lacerations, plus a cut on my nose where it got hooked by a protruding branch on a fallen log.  Luckily, I stopped when I hit the gravel and avoided plowing into said log (saw it coming, there was little to do at that point). 

Wear a helmet, m'kay?  I definitely saved myself some head damage (again). Probably time for a new brain bucket, though.
WWDDD?
