Pro Mountain Bikers Recreate ‘Tron’ Light Bikes For the Cameras

All he needed was a love of the movie Tron, a mountain bike, and a whole lot of LED lights.

Filmmaker Mike Gamble had a far-fetched idea to turn a bike into one of the light cycles from the 1981 sci-fi classic. Gamble teamed up with visual effects creator Tom Wood, and after months of tinkering, succeeded in realizing his vision.
