elastic band for backup lights

[stargost]

Does anyone know where to get the elastic band you use to hold the backup lights around the chest/harness ?
Any place online ? Any DIY ?
The LDS I use doesnt have that, and I dont want to drive a long time just for these ...

Thanks

Home depot or lowes, or order online somewhere.

a bike shop

ask for a bad tire tube, you will have replacements for life

...I use my own custom cut rubber bands made from bicycle tire inner tubes...I also use black surgical tubing.....additionally, some divers prefer to use bungie cord.

I use a mtb tube, cut it to about a 2 inch strip.

I was delighted to discover that, if you walk into a bike shop and ask for a mountain bike type inner tube, and specify that you're happy with one that won't hold air, they look at you as though you are a bit mental, but happily hand it over.

Mountain bike innertube, as others suggested. Surgical tubing and bungee both roll, which gets old after a while.

Not this kind, my Pinarello:

This kind, my Stumpie outfitted for winter commuting:

I don't have to go to a bike shop, I am a bike shop or at least all the kids for five miles in all directions seem to think I am. Bike tubes that do not hold air, in stock.
