2. I have been riding my bike for exercise for over thirty
years.
3. Since I live in Texas, during the hotter months of the
year I sometimes ride after sunset because it is
cooler.
4. For my personal safety I make sure to have a bicycle
light on my bicycle.
5. Rather than purchase a bicycle headlight at the bike
store that permanently mounts onto my bike, I have
simply used a flashlight that I have at home and have
attached it to my bicycle handlebars.
7. This process is as simple as can be and only takes
literally a few seconds to do each time you want to go
riding at night.
8. Besides having a bicycle with handlebars, and I have
never seen one without them, there are only three
other things that you will need to install this bicycle
light.
9. Three Steps To Turning
Your Flashlight Into A
Bicycle Light
11. Since I sell the Viisliam Deluxe 4-In-1 LED Flashlight
on Amazon, using this flashlight is a no brainer for
me.
12. It is made of anodized military grade metal and is
therefore, sturdy, lightweight and water resistant.
13. Being nine inches long and one and a quarter inches
wide makes it a good size for this purpose.
14. If I have a flat while riding at night the work light
function provides all the light I need to be able to see
exactly what I am doing as I change the tube inside
the tire.
15. And if the need arises, the emergency flashing
strobe light could be used to alert others to my
location as needed.
16. It is really the perfect multipurpose flashlight for me
to have with me when I am riding my bicycle at night.
17. The second thing that you will need is a small length
of old rubber bicycle tube.
19. You simply take this bit of rubber tube and place it
on the handlebars of your bicycle and then place the
flashlight on top of it.
20. Doing this allows the rubber piece to act as a buffer
and prevent potential scratches occurring on either
the handlebars or the flashlight.
21. The rubber piece also helps to keep the flashlight
from sliding out of position as you ride your bike.
22. And the third thing that you will need is a strong
rubber band or rubber wristband.
23. Once the flashlight is in position with the rubber
piece on top of the handlebars and the flashlight on
top of the rubber piece, you simply put one end of the
rubber band or wristband around on end of the
flashlight and then stretch it so that it can go around
the other end of the flashlight so that it is held tightly
in place.
