The Puma Urban Mobility folding bicycle will be available in a "glow in the dark" edition this spring, according to the WIRED Gadget blog.
A really unique feature is the integrated cable lock that doubles as the bike's downtube. If a thief cuts the cable lock, the bike is rendered non-ridable. Puma's "bike centers" will only repair the cable for registered owners of the bike.

That's fantastic. The Slingshot-esque 'downtube' cable put to better use. It's sorta like the head units that are useles when ripped from a car.
that is a very ingenuous design. I have been racking my brain for the last couple of weeks to come up with something like that.

Pete, THANK YOU -- I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the original downtube cable bike.
I just picked a PUMA bike last night in NYC and heard from one of the sales reps there that the "glow-bike" will be out around August of '08 and will retail for $2,400. Also, it will be single-speed. Ohh, and the process of "glowy-fying" is a difficult and costly process. Hmm... Oh also, it will come with a clothing set of a jacket-gloves-hat, or something like that.
