Bright Bike – STOLEN!
January 8, 2010
This bicycle was stolen on January 8th 2010 at 195 Bowery NYC, a block south of the New Museum. I attached it to the standard NYC metal scaffolding supports but the thief either unscrewed the bolt, or broke through the metal, and released the scaffolding bracket! It has a white non-reflective “BRIGHT BIKE” sticker on the downtube. The wheels are a brand new set of Open Pros, laced to White Industries ENO hubs (eccentric). Dura Ace brakes, and Sugino cranks. Went in for a gallery opening, came out, and it was gone. This is an ICONIC bike, (there are no other bikes in NYC with the full retroreflective treatment) so if you see anyone riding it, it is stolen.
The Bright Bike was the first version of a project i am working on (BrightThread.com). It is a fully retroreflective vinyl wrapped bicycle. When the bicycle is in the beam of a light (like a car’s headlight, or a camera’s flash,) it reflects back super bright. When it is not in the light, it is just jet black.
$500 reward, no questions asked

AH I remember you showing this to us when you visited UIUC! Such a shame! I hope you recover it soon.
Man, I am really sorry. But how could you leave it alone in the city?
I wonder if the person riding your bike around town is saying “Man, this is an ICONIC bike!”
