Does anyone actually ground electronics to their bike frame? I've never seen or heard of someone doing that.
i have a one wire headlight setting on my work bench right now... Old school, probably off of a bike with D cell batteries in the false tank ... and it needs a lens... got one? i found a viable battery holder in the same load of parts, too...

fenders were made of steel then... no need for a separate ground wire.
electrical, in this case..... not electronic.

WiFi generates an electro-magnetic field... as do cell phones.... and then, there's static electricity... nylon and most plastics(in all their many forms) can create static electricity.... carbon based materials.... it likes to discharge to ground, and large bodies with capacitance, eh?
