Good point on air circulation. So now I'm thinking maybe a mesh top vs solid with tiny holes might provide more ventilation and be slightly cooler.

Logos stay

I don't remove them but prefer a cleaner look. I think it's dumb for Trek to have their name in 6 visible locations on each side.

I do remove the dealership logo from my cars. I consider that...

For numbness try adjusting your bike fit/position so there's not as much weight on your hands.

Amount of contact between shoe and pedal

If I stand up on the pedals and put all my weight on one side, I can twist (float) my shoe easily with a metal on metal feel. This tells me the only contact between my foot and the pedal is the...

I don't think I've seen anything that says lights make me LESS visible so I'll continue to use them, even if it's a minor gain, along with every other option I can to keep myself safe.

What's your best "find" while riding?

I've seen enough nuts, bolts and bungee cords to start a hardware store. And I saw a hammer the other day.

It got me wondering, what other cool things have people found on a ride?

Value of tire liners

Are tire liners like Mr Tuffys worth it or is something that will puncture the tire going to puncture the liner as well?

Thx!

Good points, especially about the brake lights being seen. Maybe I'll just keep a towel in the car and wipe them off when I get there. Lots cheaper too!!

I contacted Trek and they said it shouldn't be a problem so I purchased a second unit for my wife's bike. No issues at all.

Kinda

If I barely break a sweat they get washed in the shower with me then hung to dry. Heavier sweat they go in the wash with a load of laundry.
I don't hand wash 2x in a row though.
