    Sweet! Now I can build the perfect Tron suit that I always dreamed of! Hopefully, no one will think I'm weird when I wear it to work...

    Ads on the clothing could be used to reduce the price so people actually wear it...
    Oh please. They'll charge you more for the privilege of wearing their adverts.

    As a cardriver, I will WANT to hit you, if you are wearing a bright flashing jacket. Blinking LED's are annoying enough. It's not a safety issue. If blinking stuff is safer, LED-lamps is enough. Bicycles are not supposed to blink, you are not an ambulance.

    You'd better have good security if you want to avoid the "Kick Me" worm of 2008.
