I just signed up for my first charity ride (the MS150 Cycle to the Shore), so I need to raise some funds!
I was thinking about doing a "Pimp my Ride" thing where friends and family could "sponsor" some sort of silly/funny accessory for my bike (i.e. crazy streamers, a really crazy bell/horn, etc.). People always seem to be more than happy to pay for the chance to embarrass someone (or maybe that's just my family, lol).
Any ideas of accessories that might get a good laugh, but won't be too obnoxious over a long ride?

I drove past a group ride a few weeks ago that was lead by a guy with a spinning disco ball attached to a pole which was attached to his bike. I bet a lot of people would pay money to see you tooling around w/ a disco ball...

How about a bubble machine? Not too obnoxious for you, plenty obnoxious for anyone trying to suck your wheel
How much room do you have on your bike? Racks, front/rear? Just handlebar space?Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
