Nice wheels, but you gotta work on your staging. Wheels not lined up, cranks wonky, in the granny gear in the cassette… That **** would never get in the bike vault. ?

Btw, this received no such comments but...
Just count how many times you use stuff. The bell is useful almost every ride for me. The light doesn't need a permanent attachment - you can get rubber "round the bar" attachments and take the whole thing off for day rides. Do you really need an iPhone - can't you study key turning points and alternative routes ahead of time and pull the thing out if you need confirmation or rerouting?Hey, rubber is at least "clocked" this time. I had debated about putting them askew, just for the posts I knew that would draw, but I'm too lazy to seat the tire more than once.

General Bike Thread (Desiderata, Questions, Pics)
How do you guys deal with not filling up your handlebars with stuff? My Trek DS 8.5 currently has an iPhone mount for the 7 Plus, bell, and small Bontrager headlight which seems like a lot. When the Domane arrives I'll likely grab one of the small headlights that mounts below and just in front...www.styleforum.net
Btw, I can tell from the context the Bike Vault is a website or vlog...but what are the deets?
So no one believes in day time running lights for bikes here? I want to be as visible as possible and I always have them on and flashing. Even with those on though cars try to run me over at intersections. Is it just me or are the worst offenders those with handicap license plates?
Did you 'shop out the stand? Teach me your bike selfie ways, sensei.
I'm with you on the DRL. I use the Bontrager Ion Flare set on pretty much every ride. They are very bright and very small.So no one believes in day time running lights for bikes here?

I have them but only turn them on for the few tunnels I go through. I'm usually in bright shirts, red CamelBak, etc.So no one believes in day time running lights for bikes here?

When did kickstands become so uncool. Too much drag or weight? Too dorky? They are fairly practical. I had one on my DS 8.5 but it got bent smashing into a curb so I removed it.Damn, you are good! I just use a stick and try to hide it behind the wheel. In this case, I only had a little photoshopping to do. Note, I even removed the other half of the stick that I tossed into the street.

Imagine if I put this much effort into my actual rides?
