Commuter Diaries - weekly musings

The correct number of bikes.
N + 1

N = the current number of bikes you have.

leave a pump at work.

I currently have an SKS retro track pump on the go which I am testing, review to follow. It occurred to me when I was unlocking my bike at work one day, that I should leave the pump there for emergencies and fellow cyclist to use.

Cyclists are a helpful bunch; if you see someone with a flat or mechanical don't you stop and help?

Protection.

Camo frame pad from Yanco, for the Urban Gorilla. Ideal for frame protection, storing a pump inside (as I do) and for protecting sensitive areas while fixed gear skidding.
I guess I am always looking for ways to make my bikes stand out, which is a strange concept for commuting when anonymity is useful. Get a good lock......
