The Lumen is the new bike from Mission Bicycle Co. that lights up when headlights hit it.

The powdercoat has millions of tiny spheres embedded inside that reflect light

The reflection is still quite brilliant, even from far away.

By day, it looks just like a sparkling gray paint job.

The Lumen can be set up as an 8-speed with riser bars.

A different configuration: single-speed with bullhorns.

Even the rims are coated in the super-reflective paint.

It's a handsome machine, all aglow.

Visibility is less of an issue when your whole bike lights up in traffic.
