Solar-Powered Glowing Bicycle Path In Netherlands Inspired By Van Gogh’s Starry Night
Dutch artist and designer Daan Roosegaarde has created a beautiful and innovative glowing bike path that, when illuminated at night by glowing pebbles and LEDs, looks like Van Gogh’s famous Starry Night painting.
The kilometer-long bike path, which was created using both glow-in-the-dark technology and solar-powered LEDs, is located in Brabant, the Dutch county where Van Gogh was born and raised. The swirling, glowing forms on the path’s surface will help bicyclists stay on track when they ride at night.
We’ve seen similar glowing paths before in the U.K. We can only hope that more artists and innovators join forces to create such beautiful and environmentally friendly paths!

Wonderful, is it maintenance low, it it slippery when wet, can it be cleaned, worn sections replaced easily, and cost effective
We have 320 km close Lake Baikal, along TransSiberian RW, and remains of historical Moscow road. My dream to build biking trail here.
Just imagine transforming suburbia across Europe - from roads and avenues to milky ways!!
Just imagine transforming suburbia throughout Europe - from ordinary roads and avenues to milky ways!
Just love the idea. So many more green applications can be perceived from this.
This is so freakin awesome .i want to go there NOW just to ride on that awesome path.how ingenious
Daan Roosegaarde will give a college in DeLaMar theatre in Amsterdam coming Monday (Nov 24th). Info on www.theatercolleges.nl
It is Fantastic. Safer for all as well as feeding the soul. What a beautiful way to exercise in the evening.
Wow.... Wish I could pedal my bike right across the ocean right now to the Netherlands to ride that beautiful trail! Truly magical!!
I was there last Friday! Check expectations vs. reality ;) http://piqstory.blogspot.nl/

beautiful and environmental friendly... That is an awesome innovation,,, hm,,, like in a fairy tale :D
Awesome idea - please more that. Artists where are you? Are you part of #IYL2015 or #LichtjahrDD (here in Dresden) http://light2015.org
Brabant is a province in the Netherlands located in the south of the country.
We have the technology and the money to create these roads here in Canada, yet the government fails to invest in them. Way to go Holland.
oh my i don't think i will go of the path. and i could do that in my room
This is an excellent idea, should be looking to employ this in low lit community areas, parks, suburbs etc! Super
They should make this nationwide. My bike ride after work would me more comfortable for sure.
If they could introduce this nationwide, my bike riding would be much more secure and safe.
just brilliant..will never see it in uk..spend money on too many mps..say no more
I think credits go NOT to Denmark, but to a great DUTCH designer, since he is from The Netherlands/Holland.
So very beautiful - taking art to the people. Such a pity some are squabbling about languages though. Am Chinese & I don't mind.
Hello! I'm writing about this and used your first photo- I linked back of course. To whom can I credit the photo? Thx!
I think this is a great idea, trust the dutch to come up with it!
Hope the world would appreciate more beauty on the streets in India. We reached Mars, time to clean up home.
I can't hardly wait to see Roosegaarde’s GMO glow-in-the-dark trees
I think this is a fantastic idea, I am wondering however how long the path stays lit, and how much I light you have to have.
Brabant is in Belgium! Nuenen, Noord-Brabant is in The Netherlands, where the bike path is.
Some of the Dutch call Noord Brabant just Brabant in short. The Belgian province is actually called Vlaams Brabant (Flemish Brabant)

Breathtaking. :) Wish every cycling track looks like this around the world.
Cette réalisation est fantastique, ici, en France nous devrions nous en inspirer, c'est certain. Bravo le Danemark !
Bravo les Pays-Bas! Ce bicyclepath est en Hollande.

Yes it's cool, but it's so expensive, i think my taxes are better spent on improving Education.
Beautiful! But the text is wrong.. Brabant is not a Dutch countRy.. It's the south part of the Netherlands, a province / region
'County' zonder 'r' is de meest accurate vertaling van 'provincie' in het Engels.
