Bike Lighting Contest Ideas
On June 26 I will be participating in the N.I.T.E. Ride in Indianapolis with 2,999 other riders :eek: :D :eek: It is only a 20 mile ride, it is the number of my companions that has me me a little spooked. I am going to try and join a local club ride once before then so I can see what it feels like to start in a group. I am accustomed to country roads with little traffic and no stop-lights :p
The ride itself (which starts close to midnight) comes at the end of a long day of activities and other rides. Part of this is a bike lighting competition. I already have a good Stella 150 light and need a tail light. That is easy enough.
I would be interested in hearing creative ways to add more lights to my bike and me. As I have this huge LHT conversion bill due this coming week I will not have much money for it...
Time for my morning ride, am looking forward to suggestions from this wonderful group of creative women and men!
I'm a sucker for LED fairy lights...
Not only do I peg them onto my tent so I can find it in crowded camp grounds when touring....
At Christmas I usually string a set or two on my bike. I buy them from a local variety store (BigW here but think Walmart etc) around Christmas time. They are only about 4 or 5 bucks a string and are operated by two AA batteries in a little box with a switch. I just wrap liberally around the bike and cable tie to my heart's content!
Last Christmas they had some that were like fine neon rope lights too (about $10). I bought one in fluoro pink and wrapped it around the pink bike. That was really grand!
