Step 2Usage
Usage:
- Place bikes on the bike rack.
- Place light assembly on the rear of the bike rack. Tie strings rack securely.
- Route electrical cable to car's trailer connector, and plug them in.
- Test lights.
Design alternatives
- Instead of strings, use strips of velcro to attach the light to the bike rack.
- Instead of one trailer light, use two (one on each side) and wire them as turn signals.
Unrelated to this instructable:
Notice the tennis balls in the last photo. They help make the rack more visible in daytime. This is useful if ever I forget to lower the rack in a parking lot. It also softens the blow when I walk past the rack and slam into one of the arms.
