Reckon this tidy unit lays waste on any fancypants MP3 player on the
market, but the doppler effect at speeds over 20kph makes listening to
the footy slightly difficult. Although I'm toying with the idea of
retrofitting it with a luxeon. Which would probably completely fk
everything without a adequate heatsink.

Do you regularly travel at a non zero velocity relative to your bike?

I'd get that looked into if I were you!

at some lights.

Ok. That explains it. Now I believe you :-)

He had an improvised rear
pannier that consisted of a flip top plastic kitchen
bin bolted to his frame. The bin included a mount
for a rear light and another for his flag.

I passed a guy once who had a standard plastic toilet cistern attached
to each side of his rear wheel. Looked like it worked pretty well.

One of the Aust electronics magazine(?) gave away a yellow slim brick
am/fm radio about a decade or so ago. Sat upright on the nand;lebars on
a flat bar mount (which still haunts the bits and bos containers here.
no idea what happened to the radio as I prefer as much silence as I can get.

That is an object of beauty. I remember having something
similar when I was a tacker. No torch component, just a
bar mounted am radio with speaker facing the rider. I
took it off in the end as it clashed with the bar-bag I
had at the time. It continued its life as a bathroom
radio mounted on the shower curtain rail. Marvelous. I can
remember struggling to ride along trying to turn the bars
to get good reception (AM aerials are very directional).

Something like that would totally pimp out my MTB. I'd stick that one
one side of the bars, and on the other I'd have one of those motor-bike
throttle twistable handlebar thingies that when you twisted/ripped the
throttle made this "ROAR" noise like some clapped out RM80 trail bike.
I think they were actually called "roar power". Definitely from the
same era as your hi-tech iluminating sound-box

God knows where that is, from memory it was in the same funky grey
colour scheme, a horizontal light mount on the handlebar, with a
hi-tech fasterner. (i.e.: mildly useless nylon lock nut & bolt).

Mine look a bit like that. They're made from white plastic kitchen
tidies. Cheap and daggy, but functional.

Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

John, you don't ride a bent with a reflector on the sole of your
right boot do you? See the OP!
