Actually there wont be much creativity. By running the cable inside of flexible metal tubing that is just big enough for the cable he doesn't have to worry about making everything perfect. The outer tubing acts as a support for the cable inside it. As long as each end is anchored the cable can easily slide back and forth he could put loops and coils and it would still work. That is the key part in the shifters and brake controls in most bicycles. I also made a tool for running wires through tight spaces by using that idea.
