Glow-in-the-Dark Urban Mobility

Ride after dark in safety

It's all over the blogosphere already, but Puma's Urban Mobility glow-in-the-dark folder bicycle is worthy of one more mention. While commuters look for new ways to get green daily, Puma is introducing solutions that are practical and affordable.

This third-generation Glow Rider is a single speed bike with partial folding capabilities that allow the rider to enter an elevator or bus easily. A funky glow in the dark frame makes travel safer after dark. Other safety features include twin disc brakes and anti-theft wire lock system, designed to prevent thieves from stealing your baby.
