Bicycle handlebar camera mount
Callum writes -
My friend loves to ride his bike and he takes photos all the time so for his birthday I thought a handlebar camera mount would be perfect. I managed to make it from parts I had in my spares box and some normal workshop hardware.- An old speedometer mount
- Pond Liner Scraps
- 4" Roofer
- A Nut
- A couple of washersTake the bolt out of the speedometer mount and drill the hole so the big 4" roofer will fit. Wrap the pnd liner scraps round the handlebar and then wrap the handlebar mount around them. Thread the 4" roofer through the speedometer mount drop the washers on the bolt and thread the nut on. Bingo start snapping or filming while on your bike.

HOW TO - Large scale mold making
This is the first part of what should be a great howto series on large scale mold making.
We're making an HPV! That's human powered vehicle ;) We are required to have at least 1/3 of our frontal area covered by a fairing (a fairing is just an aerodynamic shell -- like your car's outer skin). We're going for a fully enclosed (aka "sealed") fairing.To tackle this manufacturing problem, we will be making a "female" negative mold. Similar to how casts of fish are made. To make this mold, we first need to make a positive "male" plug.
Learn how to make a large mold positive for a bicycle fairing out of high density foam -Link.
There's also a time-lapse video of the process here -Link.

Beer-view mirror
Benstar writes -
This is a small rear-view mirror, meant to mount on your bike helmet (or glasses, or baseball hat...) so you can see behind you with just a little turn of the head. It's made from a bottle cap, a bike spoke and nipple, acrylic mirror, and glue.

CRAFT Pattern Podcast: Knit Bicycle Ear Warmers by Amy O'Neill Houck
This week's CRAFT Pattern Podcast features knit and crochet designer, Amy O'Neill Houck's knit bike helmet ear warmers that are fast and easy to make. Amy says, "Year-round bicycle commuters know that rain and wind can chill our ears and lower your body temperature making your ride umpleasant. These easy-to-knit wool ear covers are designed to slide onto bike helmet straps. They're warm and they'll stay put." You can see more of Amy O'Neill Houck's needlework on her blog, The Hook and I.
