In praise of in the field jerry rigged repairs

This morning on the way to work one of the bolts that holds my front fender on the bike popped off.

This ad hoc solution held for about an hour of cycling on crappy potholed roads.  Yeah, I've got a roll of electrical tape in my pannier, but I didn't want to dig through my bag. 

Yup, that's a twig!



A little bit of creative thinking keeps you rolling sometimes.

It was good for a laugh at my local bike shop this afternoon.  Shout out to Landrys Bicycles for always keeping me on the road.
