I've been noticing some rear bike racks complete with trailer lights. For rear lights, turn signals, and brake lights. Are these actually being made??? Or is it and after market conversion???

yes they are making them and selling them. They have commuter bikes now that has dashboards in them complete with built in front and rear lights computer turn signals and more. I saw a Bianchi beach cruiser down in san diego that had a 3speed electric shift, And just today I received an invite to try out an electronic/automatic gear system hmmm, why ever for and do you need batteries and what do you do if they die (battries that is)?

It's easy enough to pull off if you know how to wire trailer lights. All you need is (In my case) Some 3 in. PVC pipe, a T- fitting (for the vertical strap), 3 end caps, 2 Trailer lights (perferably the kit that comes with the wiring quick release) To protect the wires (as well as your girlfriend's car)you can use some water supply hose fitted through the bottom end cap to the underside of the car. But I'd like to hear about the premade version as well as the bike turn signal.
