Blinking Cruiser Bike Light

Blinking Cruiser Bike Light

This uses a 555 timer and some transistors for the controls.

I like to tinker with just about anything, sometimes it works out in the end. Have fun looking at the projects, try tearing something open and let me know how it goes. cheers, -Joe
