The clock is build out of bicycle parts. One of the design principles was to use only used elements. Edison once said that to invent you need good imagination and a pile of junk. The designers took his advice seriously.
The Bike clock was build by Yedidya Vardi and Vladimir Zviagintsev of the Ron Vardi Center for the Development of the Gifted, in Rishon Lezion - Israel
And you can check out a video of the assembly, too!

This is an old project, but I think it is worth a mention on the blog. It’s a POV clock that requires only a few parts. All the schematics and code are available on the website. Looks like a nice intermediate electronics project, give it a try.

If you need an excuse to switch to biking as your primary means of transportation, check out this video from Austin’s Yellow Bike Project, as they move 4500 square feet of bike parts from one shop to another. Particularly amazing starting at 3:30:
Doesn’t your commute seem a bit mild in comparison?

Making a binary clock is nothing new. However, it is a lot of fun and easy to make. If you have an Arduino and a parts bin, you should be able to make right now.

This is a very simple bike rack that was designed to carry 3 bikes in the back of a pickup truck. This has got to be a lot cheaper than any commercial version. There is even a 5-bike model at the end of the build instructions.

Who doesn’t love a nice Nixie clock? But the real question is, who is willing to pay the high price of buying one? I know, a lot of our readers can make one fairly inexpensive, but this is still a nice alternative. Possible remake?

What do you do with your crutches after that nasty crash on bicycle? Well, if the wheels are still in good shape you could always make your own stool to commemorate the occasion. Then again, you can find old crutches and some wheels in the recycling and/or garbage and forgo the whole bicycle accident part.
