Whew! Mistakes were made, but I got the dashboard of the Beat Bike put together. I can now pedal to set the tempo while I live program the drum machine. (No video of programming yet because I had to hold the phone up high!)

A video of a drum machine mounted on bike handlebars playing a pattern and having the tempo controlled by pedaling the bike.

The bike is an old cranky Raleigh mountain bike my neighbor gave me for free, up on a trainer in my basement.

The control box (top, center) takes input from a reed switch at the real wheel, from the magnet mounted on the spokes.

Power for RD-6 is 6 AA batteries in a pack. Power for control box is from a USB power bank.

I still need to mount the amp, speaker, and another battery on a rear rack.
