Here is another much more acceptable alternative.

Keep that in your back pocket instead of the 4 energy bars and 7 banana breads that you don’t need.... will make you a faster cyclist ????

$65! Give or take R900.( depending on whether Atul has backed the greenback this week)

 

Patch, there are more subtle ways to tell us you bought a Bitcoin in 2015 bro. ;)

Looks like something SKY would use. Silca sponsors Sagan, consecutive Triple World Champion so it just has to be cooler, which gets us closer to pro-like status isn't it?

I have something essentialy the same as this :thumbup: - it takes up one pocket so you can still carry food, golf tees, a pencil ,a score card and all the other things " cyclists" apparently need to carry around these days :whistling:

You forgot your MyCiti card just in case.

That thing looks like is so heavy that your sag might need some adjusting!

The time before mini-pumps or bombs. Quite a threatening piece of equipment when waved at someone in the bunch.

 

Or poked into front wheel spokes

maybe time for a return of these ... may be a good self-defense weapon for those riding past Kayamdi .....

Cool cattle prod :thumbup:  ;)

Developed for cyclists self defense against the notoriously aggressive Swiss brown cow.

Comes with rapid telescoping reach adjustability and may be adapted for almost any self defense situation.
