In A Dutch Town, A Glowing Bike Path Inspired By Van Gogh

"In the Dutch town of Eindhoven, artist Daan Roosegaarde has paid homage to its most famous resident, Vincent Van Gogh, by creating a glowing bike path that relies on solar-powered LED lights and interprets his classic painting Starry Night."

"Roosegaarde says he wants his work, illuminated by thousands of twinkling blue and green lights, to speak to everyone."

"'You have people who are interested in technology to make landscapes which are energy neutral,' he tells NPR. 'You have people interested in cultural history and experiencing it in a contemporary way. You have boys and girls who have a first date and want to take their date to a special place.'"
