P.O.V. Bike Version 2.0
It has occurred to me that simply putting the case modded persistence of vision device on the bicycle like I did earlier is not enough. In order for the full effect to be achieved, the LEDs must be moving faster. This is why I followed drewish's example and put the components between the spokes. Drewish actually made his from scratch, while mine is modded from a pre-existing p.o.v. device, which means it was cheaper and easier, but I didn't get to do as much hacking. I can't wait to take this into public for a real test and see if I get any comments.

P.O.V. Bike
I have just posted the pics from my experiment in attaching my case modded p.o.v. device to a bicycle. The bike I've attached the persistence of vision unit to now spells out "COOL" (the default) or any other message entered into it as it moves. Also, it seems I am not alone in the hacking together of bicycle-based p.o.v. devices.
