This is an interesting idea and looks to keep the cyclist safe while riding at night. The Lumen is a retro-reflective coating bicycle inspired by late nights, city lights, and full moons. By day its frame and fork appear to be dark gray, but by night they both glow white under direct light. There's no on/off switch, no batteries required.

This is there third Kickstart and if you pledge $499 on Kickstarter you get just the frame and fork. If you want the whole bike you're looking at spending anywhere from $1245 to $2500.  Check out the there Kickstarter to get more information.
