Christmas Lights For Your Bike

One of the people riding in the parade asked where she could find battery-powered Christmas lights -- they do exist and around this time of year you can find them at Big Lots or Dollar Tree. They generally take "D" or "C" batteries and cost about a dollar. The one thing with these units is that the battery case is cheap at best so you will need strong rubber bands or duct tape to hold the thing together.

Michael Bluejay, author of How to Not Get Hit by Cars (an important read for all cyclists who do not wish to get hit by cars) has a great page on converting A/C Christmas lights to run off a DC power source.
