TechCrunch reports on a new bicycle path built in the Polish city of Pruszków. The surface of the path is phosphorescent: after a sunny day, it will glow through the nightime.

According to BBC News, there was a similar project in the Netherlands in 2014: phosphorescent paint was applied to 500 m (547 yards) of a highway. The hope was that the markings could replace electric lights.

    I agree completely on the need for separation. Your next paragraph.. if you replaced "cyclists" with "drivers" (and ignore the bit about "M3s and Priuses", your sentence still makes sense.

    where is the +1 insightful, -1 crass stereotyping mod?
