New Iowa trail glows in the dark
This is in Vinton, Iowa. Two miles of trail with glow stones embedded in the surface of the concrete. https://who13.com/news/iowas-first-g...icially-opens/

that's a bright idea for those that ride at night. I didn't read where those stones are obtained from?

How long before all the glow stones are picked out by the cretins?

Yeah, we have a park with that stuff in Michigan. Pretty cool, although the park tends to be empty when the sun goes down. Too bad...
(not that it is bright enough to ride on, but cool none the less).
@Micaelb - here are some pictures.

A neat idea, but knowing what I know about glow-in-the-dark stuff, I would guess they're not that bright and the glow doesn't last long into the night? If you were riding with a blacklight for a headlight, though, it would be pretty cool!
