Bike Moustache

   At one of the many kitsch clothing stores that seem to be popping up all over the place these days, and they had a "moustache" that you attached on your bike's handlebars. However, I started seeing problems with it immediately. For one thing, it was rather grotesque, and hairy, and would surely become a giant hairball if you biked in the rain, or even in traffic after a rainy day. And, it just didn't have that nice, clean, moustache-y shape. 

     So, from my refusal to spend 20 dollars, and a belief in my ability to do it better, comes this Bike Moustache.

Step 1 Step 1

     Te moustache I made was based off of cardboard, based off of how available it was for me. That said, one of my major problems with the store's moustache was the fact that it would be wrecked by rain, so I tried my best to make mine waterproof, so multiple layers of paint are a must. I used a dark grey primer, and gloss black paint. I have a gloss cover, but since my paint layer wasn't matte, I decided not to use it.

     To fasten the moustache to the bike's handlebars, I used Velcro straps, though any household item could work. I decided against using Magnets, just on a basis of stability.

Okay, so I have been totally obsessed with mustaches lately. So when I came a cross this, I had to make one. The only thing different about mine is that I made it out of a think black plastic. And I also screwed it to the mount on the front.

I also painted the screw black, that way you can't see it. :)
