#2Not sure how legal this is in most places. I think colored lighting on the rodas is generally banned in most states.

#3This is genius, how come no one thought of this before, it is cheap, provides more safety for bicyclers and freaking looks like tron bikes!
This guy deserves to make money.

#4These systems look neat, but I find them inelegant in that they're only visible from the sides, so they're more of a supplement to front and rear lights than a complete solution.

He acknowledges that in the video, and I think it's perfectly fine. I can't imagine a system for bikes that can accomplish both.

This is really cool, and doesn't require car headlights shining on your bike like reflectors do.
When driving in my car at night, I would occasionally notice some bicycles with reflective strip around the tires. Car headlights just light them up, making it very easy to see a bike from the side. I finally found that many Schwalbe tires have this reflective strip (e.g. http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/schwalbe.asp third paragraph).
I saw a bike the other night with a half-dozen or more of those in-spoke reflectors. Very visible in headlights.

how about two flexible strips of LEDs? one wraps around the seatpost, the other around the stem. same overhead as front and rear lights, but you can easily see them from the sides.

Continental also makes bike tires with reflective strips on the side. I got this shiny one: http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/de/en/continental/...
It easily dismisses the need for the nori lights however good lookin those are.

Imagine both solutions at night in 50m distance. In which case can you identify that the light source comes from a bicycle?
The nori lights while novel make it immediately obvious that you are looking at a bicycle and that allows others to take appropriate action.

#10If you look at the video you can see how the amount of black light in a given spot changes the brightness of that spot.
It could be cool to create different light patterns, changing the intensity of the leds with the speed of the bike.
