Yes, many people have done various things with POV displays and I am aware of most of them. I did not try to invent POV (persistance of vision) with this project or claim the underlying idea as mine, but as far as I know this is the first and only one that can be done with just one single LED. It's a very simple idea of a very simple circuit creating a very simple graphic. Just a quick note to everybody pointing to all the previous work in the POV realm.

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.
