How do you all tell the time on your bikes?
I know you can get Oxford sticky clocks.
Any other more ingenious ways?
Anyone got a sundial?

I dont have a clock on my bike and have never really needed one. But if i did need one i would just attach a watch around my bars, simple and cheap. ____________________ Rieju MRX 50 Castrol Edition |

a lot of newer bikes do incorporate a clock in the speedo/tacho set up now.
I'd buy a cheap nasty watch, cut the strap and glue it on somewhere.
I have seen a key fob incorporating a watch too but that probably won't want to sit so you can see it properly.
In the film Easy Rider Peter Fonda throws his watch down in the road when they set off on the bike trip - way to go!  |

Cheapest waterproof casio digital watch I could find. Popped the strap off and used sticky back velcro to attach it to the headstock. It's not illuminated constantly at night, but there is a big button on the front to light it up if necessary. ____________________ 2007 CBF1000 & 2016 CBF1000F - Commuter heaven | 1994 CBR600FR - Awaiting defibrillation |

I have one of those bicycle digital speedo's on my bike, just above and between the rev couner and speedo.
The actual digital speedo doesnt work as i ended up chopping the wires as i got pissed off trying to get it to work.
But it does tell the time and thats what i use  ____________________ CBT Aug '03 ... Gilera GSM 50 ... Honda NSR 125 Aug '04 ...
