Friday was the Season Finale #PelotonLiv #JoyRide, a festive parade. Once again we started as 2 rides: @murphyliverpool0 & I led one, Danny from Peloton the other, converging on Sefton Park.

There we met special guests Dogshow and a raft of young riders with their parents.

Led by the disco trike, and with bikes and riders festooned with LEDs we toured the park and surrounding streets.

Sometimes the best way forward is some destructive testing. The case on this charger hasn't survived but it did let @amcewen work out why they weren't charging the #MyBikesGotLED batteries. Having swapped the polarity of the pins to match the batteries, things look much better #weeknotes

Saying farewell to a staff member; progress on the next generation of the #MyBikesGotLED boards; and news of our presence over here! 🎉 The latest @MCQN_Ltd #weeknotes

It's been too long since I got out for a solo #InTheSaddle ride, but I fixed that last night. #BikeTooter #MyBikesGotLED

Saturday's #InTheSaddle #JoyRide was rather out-of-the-ordinary. We kitted out a bunch of our fellow riders with the first batch of #MyBikesGotLED kits to illuminate their bikes, and joined the Katumba Halloween Carnival.

More video to follow when I've processed it, but here's a taster...

We've been making a bunch of #MyBikesGotLED kits in time for the Halloween parade we're on tomorrow night (and for those who buy them to keep after). Matt was first to get his fitted last night #ibal234

Experimenting with adding a button to control my #MyBikesGotLED lights. Starting with some reuse: harvesting a button PCB from a waste board (well done past me for test points next to the button to solder to now!) and an old bike inner-tube for waterproofing #weeknotes #ibal234

Unsolicited user research for #MyBikesGotLED 😆:

Lad playing footie in Everton: "Your bike's sick"
Other lad playing footie:"Your bike looks like your Nan's"
1st lad: "Shut up. Your bike's sick!"

Girl sat on a bench in Everton park: "Your bike is beautiful"

Boosted. 💉 Plus it's still foggy, so got a few photos and videos of #MyBikesGotLED while I was out. 🚴🚥

#MyBikesGotLED, and Liverpool University's Engineering Department building also has LED 😀 #InTheSaddle #ibal234
