Items Needed:

3m of EL wire (in colour of your choice)

(in colour of your choice) Waterproof invisible sticky tape

Watch the 3 minute video above. We're going to be doing the exact same to your bicycle. You'll stick the EL wire to your bike frame at intervals of approximately 4 inches. Make sure to have the EL wire facing upward to maximise viewing angles.

Start sticking below the seat where it junctions with the rest of the frame, and begin with the section of the EL wire where the coloured part meets the black coating, as shown in the video.

Top Rung

Stick along the top rung, making sure to pull the wire tight before every stick. When you reach the junction with the handlebars, thread the wire around the front to meet the lower rung of the frame.

Lower Rung

Repeat the process with the lower rung. Some of you may encounter water bottle holders; this is no problem. You're just going to to make a small detour.

Vertical Rung

When you reach the junction with near the pedals, make a bend in the wire and repeat the process going up the upward back toward the starting point.

Upper Back Rung

When back at the junction with the seat, thread the wire over the top of the frame to meet the upper back rung, dodging and brake or gear cables in the way. Repeat sticking heading toward the lower back rung.

Lower Back Rung

Here you're going to make another bend in the EL wire and begin sticking it to the lower back rung. On the way back to your final destination (near the pedals). If you find you still have wire leftover, simply double up one of the existing tracks.

Congratulations - you made it! Now, let's make sure the wire is safe and secure...
