Cycling is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to get around. the environment.
And thanks to this bike path that shines in the night, it's even more true!
Not only is it eco-friendly, but it's also much better for the safety of night cyclists!
The development is visible to all, and its users are lit as soon as darkness arrives. Watch:
This cycle path becomes luminous at night thanks to the solar energy captured during the day.
TPA Instytut Badań Technicznych created this bright blue bike path near Lidzbark Warminski in northern Poland.
It is made from synthetic material which can give light for 10 hours once charged by the sun.
This track therefore lights up throughout the night without any problems.
As for the blue color, it was chosen because it harmonized perfectly with the environment.
Although the concept was inspired by Studio Roosegaarde's Star Roads cycle path in the Netherlands, the technology is quite different.
The Dutch version uses LEDs while this one relies entirely on a coating that charges with solar energy.
It is still in the testing phase at the moment, but hopefully this brilliant idea will be implemented in other countries in the very near future.
