Glow-y goodness
It's no Down Low Glow, but $25 for AA-powered electroluminescent wire you can wrap around whatever you wish looks pretty sweet.
I need to get this and a lift kit for my scraper bike.

I've seen people with blinking LED Christmas necklaces and New Years chochtkes, little junk like that would be just as effective. I would definitely be up for some kind of "light-up ride". Spring solstice, maybe? And, preemptively, no drug references, please, he-he.
