One man shined light on a new way for motorcyclists to enjoy their two-wheeled companions without worrying about disappearing into the dark.
"Lunasee creates those iconic rings of light that immediately identify us as a motorcycle to other vehicles," said exhibitor Mike Dickenson.
Small circles of light transform a potentially dangerous nighttime ride into a safe one by increasing motorcycle visibility from both sides.
"Lunasee was created for bicycle tires," said Dickenson. When he first learned to ride, though, "we realized how much it could help people."
"I can't believe I've never seen this before! I want to show it to bikers everywhere!” said Roy Craft, a New York motorcycle safety teacher.
Dozens of people were drawn from other areas of the AIMExpo at the Orange County Convention center to investigate the glowing wheel onstage.
The circles are actually tape that's very similar to children's glow-in-the-dark stickers and absorbs light from a small bulb in the fender.
"All bikers fear not being seen in the dark and too few can afford customized neon lighting. This is a perfect alternative," said Dickenson.

Dickenson exhibited and explained his company's technology at the American International Motorcycle Expo, or AIMExpo, in Orlando on Oct. 19.
“This would really make me feel a lot safer at night than I do now,” said motorcyclist Jon Connor. “Plus it looks like something from Tron!”
