zip ties. useful accessory

On my way to work the nut to my shiftier linkage came off. Luckily I had zip ties available. A quick rig and I was back on the road. Never leave home without them.

I always use them to keep my handlebar tool bag in place.
Then cut and remove after use.

I've used them more times than I'd like to admit. Truly a-million-and-one uses.

Yep! I like how you left them untrimmed to let the world know you are a thinker, and a doer! Just giving you a hard time! I know I don't carry them like I should. Don't usually have them on regular day rides, but on longer rides. Would be much better than waiting on a truck to come get me (even though towing is $12/year). Did that once and it took forever......lol
