Here I am riding it for the first time after a heap of new lights have been added.
Too big to fit! (My first HD YouTube video)
Simon Clay and I created a pretty awesome switch box for most of the components. It currently controls:
1 Rear Red LED ring
1 Blue Silicon LED ring (around the crank)
2 Sequence LED strips on the fenders
1 Blue LED ring under lighting the switch box
I have dubbed the box "The Simonizer"
It works with any light components wired up with headphone jacks. I've got about 3 extra slots to use, and if I need more, I can simply use a splicer.
Not controlled by the Simonizer, but also on the bike:
2 8ft Blue EL wire kits line the wheels
1 15ft Green EL wire kit on the frame
2 Monkeylectric kits on the spokes
Regular white LED headlamp, and a red rear light.
So check out the fun times that were had photographing it in my flickr set here.
Edit:
Forgot to add some footage I took with my digital camera. There's a few closeups to show off the different parts.

Dude... that is awesome.
Wow... I am looking forward to TR2N more than anything else in the world. It's an honor, sir.
that second son vid is cool. nice work.
hope tron reaches your expectations - i'm wondering if that's possible tho!
and hey we both like bikes. but who doesn't love a bike?
Thanks! I did that right out of school... I just see all the mistakes I made when I watch it now.
I wouldn't worry, my expectations are that things will glow blue, green, and possibly red. This will be more than enough to delight me - simple tastes that way. Of course good story would be icing on the cake.
Yeah, I was checking out your bike blogs. They're great! Keep up the good fight.
ok it's cool as a work of art but my question is: what's all that illumination, powersupply and switchgear weigh? honestly, how much?
1.17 lbs of batteries...
Probably between a lb or two more with all the wires, lights, etc thrown in.
It was already a heavy bike, so it doesn't throw it off too much.
I ride about 25-30 km a day on it. (Which yeah, might be a better workout than it has to be.)
