Bike Phone v1.0

Step 4 Road ready

just screw everything back on to your ride... and if you want you could clip the wire down with tape or something, as for the light i said its not compulsory but you if you can hollow it out like mine and flip it up you have your phone 'cradle'.

I used a nokia and when charged like this should display something similar to 'optimum charging', i didnt get a chance to try out any other phones.

Remember, dont place a call while on the road, pull over to a safe location.

This is really v1.0, i had nothing around the house, not even masking tape! so watch out for future refinements such as hands free, fax, and the option to keep the light aswell. (yes i know i know "but what about the light?" will be the first question but important people are too busy to get hit by cars.)

This seems very dangerous, I'm a bit worried about that the dynamo outputs different voltages. I don't know how high it goes though, but wouldn't you have to bike around at one speed all the time to get the phone to charge? Perhaps it works anyway, how have your biking and test turned out?
