After hard fought elections across the US, there’s quite a few campaign signs floating around. Blogger Kent Peterson devised some cool ways to recycle the waterproof, plastic material. With a couple campaign signs and a few zip ties, you can DIY a rack and fender set for the rainy-day commuter. Sound awesome? Instructions for the build are illustrated over at Peterson’s website.

NOTE: The following refers to the instructions on Kent’s page… He put these on an EDDY MERCKX – crazy!
Kent,
I’m all for the recycling and fenders and this is a cool project – but.. but.. but.. tha.. that… that’s and EDDY Freakin!!!!! MERCKs frame!!!!! your %&^*%& insane!!!!!! Doesn’t Dante reserve a special level in Hell for people who make clown bikes out of fine, hand made racing machines -especially ones that say EDDY MERCKS
Something to think about:
Those signs aren’t free for hipster’s taking. They belong to the candidate. I have heard for people getting into trouble for taking them, tearing them down, etc.
My wife worked on a couple of candidate’s campaigns and their signs are a big no-no to mess with.
With them on your bike it would be hard to say they weren’t stolen.
Just saying…
