May Need to Institute a Photography Ban on My Commute Bicycle

This morning I rode over to the local Electronics Flea Market
http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/ as I do every month when it occurs.

I always get comments and questions about my lighting but now people are
asking if they can photograph my bicycle so they can remember how to
duplicate some of the stuff on there.

Two people asked me about the light bracket (fabricated from two conduit
clamps, some heat-shrink tubing, and a nut& bolt). One seller said that
she used to sell the same kind of USB rechargeable, 360 degree rear LED
light I am using http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003GAXXUU.

Of course there were questions on where to buy the 500 lumen, spot to
flood, four mode front light
http://www.costco.com/Feit-Electric-500-Lumen-Flashlight-3-pack.product.100049686.html.

Next month I may make up some half-page fliers with all the information.

Later in the day we rode to Shallow Alto for lunch, about 18 miles each
way. I'd say that the percentage of riders with daytime flashers is up
to about 40% for recreational riders, and my 500 "Chilumen"
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chilumen light was by
no means the brightest flasher. Saw one of the Bay Area Bike Share
bicycles and they all come with front flashers.

so where's the photo Kate ?

................

a rpt so yawl read it

eyahahaha....solved a prob with Grainger's liquid tape red...

incroyable.

broken USB wire at charger nipple.....

cut nipple with new razor at seam down center of double wire....separated wires...stripped 3/16ths upper side break of insulation half off ie just partial...

leaving core intact

then laid in copper wire inserting one end down into into nipple body against break...upper side twisted new wire segment over exposed wire and remaining insulation there...

plugged unit into ac...it works !!!

then with unit running covered surfaces with a liberal glob of liquid tape over wire n down over nipple for support.

with unit running, sat in hot sun with battery/Mifi charging under cover 6" away. cures in 3 hours, noodor in enclosed space tonight with a winter chill.

damn proprietary signal equipped chargers are outrageous$

assume this splice n liquid tape works with eg earphones so yawl read it...

Print a handbill featuring a photograph of your machine and hand them
out. Include sources, prices, links, and construction details around
the periphery of the photo. On the back, provide a price list and
ordering info for things you are selling or representing. Charge 25
cents to cover the printing costs or $1 for an autographed copy. A
business card with your URL on it would probably suffice, but you
can't easily charge for that. Whatever you do, don't sign a photo
copyright release.

WHEN I SEE AN 'AERVOE' IN AMAZON, I ASK 'WHY AMAZON' ? WY NOT EG DOLLAR GENERAL OR BELL BRAND IN WALMORT ? if the object is ponly in 'amazon' then it lacks sufficient quality to survive on the open market.

the wire splice is more windable with a groove for the sliding wire filed into needle nose plier tips with the handle shut tight with 3M 33 ELECTRICAL TAPE stretched tight....

I don't Scharfie any better than you do, Franki-boy, but do you have to make the entire bloody conference unpleasant by telling us every five minutes that you hate him? We heard you the first ten thousand times, dickhead.

Aw Frank, you're just jealous that nobody wants to photograph your
bicycle :-)

Think of it.
Folks clustering around; people with gigantic camera lenses pushing
and shoving to be in the front of the crowd; blokes squirming between
the spectators trying to see what is going on; fights breaking out;
the arrival of the riot squad; arrests; cameras impounded; cries of
pain, screams of anguish.

To photograph a Chinese made bicycle light :-(
