I am running a Kickstarter Campaign for the Bright Bike DIY Kits. Even though all the promotion I have done is email this list a little over two months ago, response to the Bright Bike DIY Kits has been larger than anticipated. So much larger than anticipated that I cannot keep up with demand: my assistants and I are making these things by hand. I am actually worried that a big blog might pick it up, as I will not be able to handle the flood. I have to scale the project up, or it is going to eat up all my time (or die.) I am running a Kickstareter.com campaign to raise $2000 to fabricate a jig to cut the kits, buy a whole bunch of vinyl in bulk, and hire an assistant to fabricate the kits.
Please contribute to the campaign to make the Bright Bike kits a stable project. You will get cool stuff in return — Kits! And other special things.

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve added a link to your Bright Bike project site to the Ride of Silence Links page under Bike Safety Products (new section added just to add your product; it’s the first safety product we’re adding to our site of hopefully many more to come). The RoS is an organization dedicated to honoring fallen or injured bicyclists around the world, so we’re also very interested in reducing the carnage on our streets.
All the best! Great idea. I hope it becomes a product readily available thru a distributor or wholesale as I manage a bike shop as well that could sell this.
I’d encourage you and others to consider riding in a local Ride of Silence event in your area; check the listings of events here:
