A glow illumination device and system which utilizes a plurality of the devices to make bicycles more visible in low light conditions. The glow illumination devices include a translucent glow tube which fits in a coaxial, radially spaced position around respective support tubes of the bicycle frame, front forks, and handlebars. An elongate, doughnut-shaped annular glow chamber is formed between the glow tube and the associated support tube to permit light propagation therethrough. A pair of end caps each have an inner flange defining a central hole of a size sufficient to receive the associated support tube and an outer flange at an outer periphery to retain the glow tube engaged between the end caps. A plurality of light emitting diodes are retained to each end cap, and are operatively connected to a common battery pack affixed to the bicycle frame through sheathed wires to illuminate the entire length of the glow tube.
