D to the L to the G-L-O

My new Down Low Glow bike lighting system arrived this afternoon, and I took my first cruise tonight with the stylin’ Packet Boat (Xtracycle). I’ll have some pictures in the morning.

My driveway is about five feet long, and I had not reached the end of it before two cyclists stopped me. The guy in the lead said, “Man, I thought I had some lights, but this is the ultimate!” We chatted for a few minutes about Xtracycles and DLGs.

Then it was off on the inaugural GlowMotion 08. Here’s a sampling of the feedback from people on front porches, sidewalks, park benches, bar decks, and on the street in general:

• “Look at this motherfucker!”
• “Dude, is that a moped?” (Me — “It’s a bicycle!”) “It’s a bicycle! Ha ha! Cool!”
• “Nice glow!” (I swear that wasn’t scripted. She actually yelled “Nice glow!”)
• “Nice bike!”
• “Phat bike, man!”
• “That’s gotta be a fun ride!”
• “Cool pimped-out bike!”

I thought the Xtracycle was a conversation starter. Add the Down Low Glow and you’ve got yourself the ultimate bike advocacy tool. Who wouldn’t want to ride a bike that looks that cool? And I’m a geek. Imagine what it would look like with a rider as cool as the bike. Dangerous, even!

Get yours today! You’ll be glad you did.

(Derek, if you read this — my wife said today, “I think I’m changing my mind about getting an Xtracycle.” Bwah-hah-hah-hah-hah! My evil plan is working!)
