Just got myself a foldie, looking forward to join any group events in the future biggrin.gif

Btw, what's the safest way to stow loose cash, keys, mobile phone while cycling? I have a sling bag, but I'd want to avoid that, in case of snatch theft or whatever. Are saddle bags the way to go?

Sorry for the noob question biggrin.gif

Lol, might as well equip my bike wheels with side-slicing blades, batman-style.

I guess the idea is, if someone wants to rob me, then bo pian la. but just don't want to make it too obvious like "hey look at me! i look like i have something valuable becoz of this big bag i have!". or don't want to have something that is an open invitation to grab and pull, like a sling bag over my shoulder.


So i guess i'll probably go with a waist pouch small enough to keep under my shirt, or a small pouch to attach at the folding hinge, like outdoorexplorer mentioned, coz technically it'll be between my legs when I ride.

If you wear something like this, you are in high chance for being a target.

hahaha set lah, looking like the second picture will be no problem. and cost-effective! it won't attract the ladies, but hey, i'm all sweaty and probably looking like shit after a long uphill climb, so what the hell. lol.

you may get this. It is smaller than the baton, and easy to use. jus swing it out and u can get a baton. comes in different length.

either way, you can use your bike as weapon if you want to

Hey thanks for the pouch recommendation. looks good. know anywhere here that sells it? Planning to drop by Van's Urban Bicycle to have a look-see at some accessories. Wondering if they have it.

Btw, from the looks of that pic of the baton, at first glance i thought it was a tazer, so that got me excited a little bit. Lol.

Just came back from the bike shop. Ended up getting a topeak wedge drybag, small. Looks decent and hopefully it serves it's purpose well.

anybody has any recommendations for a good set of blinkers? preferably something that can be USB-charged.

i quite like Knog's blinkers, but damn, they are quite expensive :S

i've also seen some el cheapo blinkers, but they're mostly not USB-chargeable, and I think i would need to worry about whether it's waterproof or not.

Hey all, I got a really noobie question, hope you bear with me tongue.gif

Is it okay to leave my foldie in the car boot for extended periods of time, like a couple of days? Will the heat in the boot cause any potential damage to the bike?
