I didn’t build the Arizona Whip. Its made by a small company in Arizona, called Arizona Whip Inc. I put a link in the post to the company where you can buy them. I LOVE mine!

I change the battery about once a month, with about 2 hours of use each day, 5 days a week.

I love the lightpole you have built! I am thinking about adding one to my Greenspeed. Did you ever figure out how long the 9V battery lasts?

Looks like something that Dr. Loveless would have on board his walking Arachnoid in “The Wild, Wild West”.

I used to wear Capilene and other synthetic base layers. They work alright, but honestly, as a bike commuter myself I’d strongly encourage you look into wool base layers. The difference is incredible, IMO. Both Smartwool and Icebreakers make really good stuff. We haven’t gotten a lot of 0F weather here in Madison, WI yet this year, but wearing a mid-weight wool base layer and a wind-proof shell is more than adequate for my ~4 mile ride into work.

Cheers!

It doesn’t take too long to get dressed. At zero degrees, I get a little warm on the uphill, but don’t sweat. At higher temps, like 20-30, I wear fewer cloths, like lighter gloves, and I ditch the neoprene shoe covers and neck gaiter.

I dunno, Bob. That first pic looks kinda R rated! I thought this was a family website!
How long does it take to get all this gear in place and ready to ride? Do you tend to sweat in all of this?

That’s really clever. I’ve always liked recumbent tadpoles (single wheel in back, not in front). This is a really handy way to carry things around.

I found a site that sells decals and decal replicas. I think I found the company on ebay, then went to their home page and found the motobecane decals. They were something like $25 to $30, a little pricey, but there were no alternatives. Good luck with your project.

Where did your find the decals? I have been looking for while and I can’t find any. Any ideas?
