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.

    If I had mod points, I'd mod that up as insightful. However, judging by the douchbag bikers in my community, they would eschew the trails and use the roads anyway, especially during rush hour.
