Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Problem fixed with a little careful putzing and some judicious futzing. No faffing at all.

I’ve done quite a bit of cave diving in the past so helmet with a light is second nature to me. Gotta feed the inner dorkiness.

But I also have the Swiss Army knife in my pocket. I used the onboard tweezers, just the other day, to remove a bit of derailleur cable from my thumb.

I dropped in to get a chamoyada and the little lady decided to get an elote - that funky cheese is really stankin up the minivan.

I have the same knife, except a tamto blade point. Very handy, very nice locking, and opening.

My Question about the Swiss Army knife is because everywhere I go someone else also has a Swiss Army Knife. In a room full of people usually half have one in their pocket. Ask everyone in the shop tomorrow, I bet half will have one. I thought you would have one. All my seat bags have one, and so do my panniers. In high school mine was called the Swiss Party knife, I could always open a bottle, a can, and remove a cork.

Made it.

12 miles from home two or three rain drops. Speed up.
6 miles from home speed up a little more just a couple drops.
1 miles from home just one tiny drop. Maximum power...….
Get home, put the bike in the garage, walk to the house, open the door and step onto the porch (with a roof).

Rain starts !!! Made it !!
