Well...They are Pedro's levers, which are the best. There are also two tubes, a chuck and a spoke wrench inside. Not sure if that would be enough for a hit.
Many years ago someone stole my bag while my bike was locked up outside the office. It easily clipped on and off a bracket. Forgot to remove it one morning. It was gone when I left work. There is hardly anyone in my part of center city these days. One of the unexpected downsides to this pandemic is that I now have to open the door for myself at the Wawa around the corner. A such, I didn't bother removing the bag today.

But what was she hoping she would find? We leave our bags and stuff in a crew room at the charlotte airport. There has been thefts before which is crazy, since it means a fellow crew member is stealing your things. I’m not sure how I would react if I caught someone going through my bag, but it wouldn’t be pretty.
When I bought my Subaru 4 years ago it was the first car I ever had with electronic locks. Forgot to lock it one night. Someone stole the all weather floor mats that were still in their plastic in the spare tire well. Talk about a niche market. At least the person was kind enough to close the tailgate.
A week before Christmas 2010 the GF and I forgot to lock the front door. Someone came around checking doors and made off with my Surly fitted with irreplaceable custom racks and my flip phone. We were home and watching the late news in bed.

Hey indyfabz (or anyone else) have you ever ridden the "Lancaster County Covered Bridge" ride? A friend of mine wants to ride the route as a small group this weekend. It's only a metric, which is not quite epic, but I imagine the scenery is beautiful.

Today was the first time since I started I was completely burnt out. Had a hard time waking up, and when I got up I really didn’t want to ride. Knew my anger towards myself if I didn’t go would put weight the No go I was feeling. I also was hoping my attitude would change once I started riding, but that was negative

I didn't go. I should have, it sprinkled and that was it. Unfortunately I'm slammed at work - last day before a 3 day mini vacation.
