[sudo-discuss] do you have plastic straws we can use for bike lights?

weird question but i'm looking for plastic drinking straws to use for bike wheel lights. I know they're illegal in california so i figure people probably have some stashed and hoarded and don't want to give them up, but we need them. we're planning another bike light making session and then a bikelight installing event before the next East Bay Bike Party, which happens on February 11th from Rockridge BART (nearby sudoroom!) I want to make lights like these to go on wheels: https://www.radlicht.com/store/products/radlicht-bike-wheel-light-red/ we have tons of battery holders with switches, plus we can make some sort of automatic thing to turn them on - not sure how to do that yet so suggestions are welcome! Probably a two-state tilt thing that charges a capacitor to turn on a FET to turn on the lights, so it only takes power when the wheel is turning. -jake
