I think I've found my next hardware project: SpokePOV, a programmable persistence of vision kit for mounting on bike spokes. Cheap, too.

xmurf pointed out that it needs to be bluetooth programmable, so you can change the design from your PDA.

My revision of the blick POV involved an IR link. Wireless is MUCH nicer. If you had bluetooth you could potentially link an entire group of bikes with a graphics system for bannering.

I was thinking of things that would be fun to do even without networking. Cycle through time and temp. Have a design that moves proportionally to your current speed. Display your trip mileage. But networking opens up all kinds of crazy things. Current geodetic coordinates. Stock prices. Headlines. Have an SMS gateway to let other people set the message.
