Description:	I saw some cool videos on Cyclelicio.us with camera mounted in the back of the bike. So, I decided to try the same. Since I did not want to spend multiple $100 for the real thing, I opted for a DIY thing. Material: * Bike reflector (bike stores give them away for free) * Screw 1/4" 20 thread * Bolt 1/4" 20 thread to make screw stick out enough * Piece of rubber to dampen vibrations Instructions: 1. Take reflector off the reflector holder 2. Put the bolt on the screw and stick the screw through the hole where reflector was attached to the holder 3. Score a hole through the rubber and place it on the opposite side of the reflector holder. Then just screw the camera on and you are all set. Here is a sample video made using this contraption: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71osPjbFVF0
