Bigger, Brighter Bike Flag - On Sale Now..

I used to sell these at the bike shop, they always sold fast. They do have reflective stuff on them. They're really pretty and com in a wide variety of shapes and colors.

 

I was just through your area a few weeks ago on vacation. (I didn't know it was your area until just now!) Are you associated with the Trailside Bikes bike shop? We stopped by that shop as a one-shot opportunity on the way out of Knoxville but it was closed

 

On a related topic: I am looking for a source for 6mm fiberglass poles (without the flags). Not finding any in the usual places, stopped by Loews (Hardware/DIY store in the US for those outside the US), could not find anything appropriate. I bought 3 flags from KatiesCreations store on Etsy, and their pole pocket is quite narrow and also the seat mount on my ICE Adventure will not take poles much thicker than 6mm. Any pointers to sources of 6MM poles, or some suitable substitute much appreciated. I was thinking of fishing poles, but they are too thin at the tip and too broad at the handle end - i would chop off the actial handle and remove the line loops - have hacksaw and will use it!

 

You can buy a bicycle flag set at Walmart and just use the pole. They come as cheap as $9.

Thanks Rocketmantn, I in fact bought one of those to try, they are really flimsy, the plastic connector pieces are really cheap, did not hold the connecting pole sections well at all, don't think they will hold up.

 

Neat idea, Thank you

cheers,
