A couple days ago, I was riding and almost home, and reached down into a pocket on my front panier for the garage door opener.. I missed, and got slower, and missed, and got slower, finally managed to tip over and land on my butt, laughing like an idiot at how stupid that must have looked. I don't think anyone saw though...

So yesterday, I couldn't resist. I scavenged a reset (push on, release off) button from an old computer and an unused blinky handlebar mount. Opening up the garage door remote, I soldered a two conductor wire to the back of the circuit board, tied it into the switch, a few pieces of heat shrink tubing, a few small cable ties, and now my bike has a permanently mounted pushbutton garage door remote. Mounted the switch itself on the blinky mount with several layers of epoxy to give it support.

It sits right next to the GPS cradle and above the pair of 1W LED headlamps.

If I rode much at night on dark roads, I'd probably build the MR16 with 3W led bulbs. As it is, I think its better to have the pair of 1w mountables on hand with alkaline AA's, as opposed to having to be concerned with keeping a rechargeable topped off.
