[Noisebridge-discuss] Bike lights workshop! Shine out into the night! This Friday

[Alexandra Glowaski]

I haven't worked with Rock the Bike, no! They sound awesome. Do you know
anybody specific I should reach out to? :)

Also, hey everybody, look, Robin has already built her own set from the
tutorial! They're gorgeous! Yours will be too!

I may get there just in the nick of time, as I'm attempting to scrounge a
mountain bike for this weekend. See you there!
