Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A device for increasing the visibility of bicyclists and others "at risk" at night and during other low visibility conditions, and the chemical method of producing the same, wherein the device is a luminescent, planar portion of material manufactured using a mixture of PVC, phosphorescent, brightener, and fluorescent color that results in bonding of the phosphorescent and fluorescent ingredients. The luminescent portion provides continuous, visible light emission in the dark and at other times of low visibility, given intermittent exposure to an external light source. A fastener for attaching the luminescent material to the spokes of a bicycle wheel is also provided. An anchor pin projecting through the luminescent portion has a slotted end for receiving the spoke of a bicycle wheel. A lock washer fits over the tapered end of the anchor pin and retains the spoke between the closed end of the slot and a flange. A companion light source that produces invisible, intermittent light (BLB) is also provided for.
