Bikers and skaters rejoice — novel concept from UK-company starting to gain traction, could see actual implementation
While there are a lot of things to be happy about this time of year — Halloween candy, Pumpkin beer, Football — one thing that sucks majorly is the shorter days. No sooner does one get home from work, changes into their exercise gear, grabs their handlebar mountable Bluetooth speaker and hops on to their bike for a quick ride down in the park, is it too dark out to see the paths.
Well, my fellow nighttime riders and skaters, it’s time to rejoice — it appears as though UK-based company ProTeq has created a solution to this headache: glow-in-the-dark pathways.
What’s really cool is that their solution doesn’t require the ripping up of pathways; rather, they can make the darkened roadways glow simply by painting it.
A polyurethane bases is applied, followed by a quick-drying topcoat to seal it. That’s it. A 420-foot long stretch could be glowing for the nighttime riders after a few hours of treatment work.
