They might be better off licencing the technology to an existing motorcycle boot company.

I guess you can just use you kids shoes and stamp you feet when you stop. Maybe a light on your helmet, but feet how it that going to be anything take money from your pockets to his.

Lights down low may work for a sport bike.. maybe.. but having lights in arms or shoulders would make more sense.

Well as of this morning they're fully funded. I can't see this becoming a trendy thing, but who knows, stranger things have happened.

A quick Google search on "light up shoes" seems to indicate light up shoes becoming more of a popular thing... Maybe Disco will even make a come back. Break out those old bell bottoms and let them flap in the breeze! ;-)
