Bike Clock

Bike Clock
I commute by bicycle (weather permitting) and I thought it would be nice to have an easy-to-read clock mounted on the handlebars.  Yes, I know that most cycle computers include clock functions, but I like the easy-to-read analog dial.

Materials needed:
1) cheap analog alarm clock (found at a thrift store)
2) handlebar mount (recycled from an old handlebar-mounted shift lever)
3) epoxy glue (optional depending on fit)
4) silicon seal (for optional weatherproofing)

Step 1Prepare the clock mounting hole

Prepare the clock mounting hole
Depending on the alarm clock that you choose for the project, there will usually be a set of screws on the back of the clock that hold the clock together.  Choose one of these screw locations for the placement of the mounting bolt that will attach the clock to the handlebar mount.  Remove the screw and drill a hole completely through the clock.  I used a #7 drill from my drill index which is approximately .2 inches in diameter which is slightly larger than the mounting bolt that I used.
