How to Make a Bike Light Glove

I am living in The Netherlands and the most popular means of transportation is by bike! In the evenings when it gets dark each bike needs to have a light. I decided to combine a bike light with a pair of gloves. When riding at night, simply put on the gloves and off you go.

Step 1 Prepare Gloves

Gather together the necessary materials.
You will need: an insulated glove, conductive thread, conductive fabric, a battery pack with room for two AAA batteries, three LEDs, some fabric and cotton stuffing. Take the glove and flip it inside out, so that all your stitching will be on the inside. Mark the spots where your knuckles are. this is to mark where the LEDs will be placed. Now make an incision near the base of the glove so that you can fit your hand in between the outer layer and the fleece layer for sewing.

I love this! I've always run the problem of my bike light falling off, but this seems like an ideal solution. Plus, I imagine you could just pick up a rock or stick and have light.

Great Job!

Great idea. I know that I struggle with remembering to remove the lights from my bike whenever I lock it up, to ensure that they are not stolen. By building the lights into my gloves, I will no longer have to remember this process step. As human memory is notoriously infallible, this combination glove/light is sure to be desired by many cyclists.
