with the massive crowd of 100′ts and 100′ts riding along each other.

nice post. great job.

This “design” became publicly available in 2006, as has already been pointed out by rob at 11:05 am. Was credit given? Another article published in 2006 demonstrates how to make this, http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2006/03/light_up_animated_pacman_bicyc.html

The assumption that changing the color of a store-bought bicycle to yellow equates to “a custom design in a vintage style,” is the sort of hyperbole that shows pure arrogance by the folks at ICA.

For that sort of statement to be true Waldemeyer could have commissioned a frame to be built by one of thousands of artisans who are still alive and making hand-built bicycles out of steel, aluminum, titanium, carbon fiber, and even bamboo. It would also have made sense to remove the labels from the rims.

There is a simple disconnect between the press release and what Jodi says about it being a small project commissioned by ICA and VC as part of a fundraiser.

I will continue to ride my bike sans these lightup accessories and drink Roederer Crystal from my water bottles.
