Contrail – Biking Community Tool

I can’t even begin to describe the crazy things we did as kids to our bikes. Skate boards for front wheels, Skate board wheels for front wheels. Even tried lighting out tires on fire. The Contrail (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail) seams like one of the coolest gizmos made for a bike i a long time.

The Contrail is a simple idea, something to apply a think later of Chalk to your tire (road tires would work best). As you ride you leave a coloured path behind you, a group of people would look something like an rainbow.

I think if I ever got around to make my single speed frame I would include one of these with each.

I would love to see the Edmonton Bike Couriers using these as I see them all over. It should make for an interesting view to those sidewalk and car dwellers.
