Keep your eyes open at Target. Sometimes they have oddball bike stuff hiding in plain view.
Yesterday, I saw a Schwinn-brand POV “persistence of vision” display for your bicycle spokes. For $twelve! That’s cheap enough for me to buy! Of course, I didn’t. But you should.
Have you seen one of these things? Neither Target nor Schwinn are willing to admit to this product on their websites. But it looks roughly like this.
The one at Target allows you to display 10 characters. Which started me thinking. What would I display?
- We’re on 2WHEELSBBY
- Title 29-A, Chapter 19, §2070, 1-A is too long – maybe 3FEET2PASS
- GOLOOKABOU t.com. Nah.
Any other ideas?
That’s kind of neat for useless crap. Maybe you could program it to say something meaningful to car people, like “Gasless” or “SUV Free” or “F*** You”. I wouldn’t buy one, but I like the idea.

I’d buy one… if Target weren’t way out in the Maine Turnpike Authority Pedestrian Eradication Zone.
I don’t think it’s useless – they’re bike lights.
